Well, the Current Custodian(NY Police - Game & Fish - PH - Something) finally dropped the price a bit but some Nimrod pushed the bid up to $500. Anyway, I now am the Current Custodian of a dainty, mechanically superior tool by Alphonse Forgeron from 1930. Inside of the tubes are just stellar. A. Forgeron typically used Cap(Tête d’aigle) or Jean Falla rolled tubes but for the moment I just am not sure who was rolling the Nelson Nickel Steel??
