C&H was noted for building just about anything anyone was willing to pay for. But I'd sure appreciate it if you'd copy that 1960s photo and post it here, Larry. While C&H played fast and loose with model names, the 'Blagdon' model was sideplated in every catalog and example I've seen, and so was the 'Sandhurst.'
