WildCattle and Jeff thank you for the info.

I'll try to get my hands on Monsieur Mournetas's books and also maybe some re-editions
of old Manufrance catalogues. Fortunately French is not a problem.

Jeff, all is well down here. Middle of summer with weather appropriate for stock
refinishing (30ºC and 30% humidity during the day, but 15º at night). I have to
"water" my cigars frequently though.

I thought your Idéal deserved a better look, so here it goes:
