Oh my stars and garters ... what a nice picture !Thelonious monkfish wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:47 am Nope, not a purchase, been a good while, year or more. But I just found these in a drawer. They're some of the restoration pile, I'll be running into more but damn if there aren't already some gems in this first group. A Golden Duke shape stamped 67? Where?! How? A Grand Duke Canadian? They never made those... angel hair straight grain square shank Linkman's Hollycourt?! Linkman's Ringmaster Hawkbill Billiard?! Damn! Oooo, fancy Wellington..... I'll be occupied a while...

Triangle shank, wire carved, Pear? Nice! Good chance that one has German Vulcanite by the looks of it. Flash on so high the orange color washed out from the spade but stem still looks deep black. Score!
All the pics are like that but one that shows the orange spade. I think so... not bad for 20 clams.Thelonious monkfish wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 11:18 amTriangle shank, wire carved, Pear? Nice!
