looks beautiful Alan
I was secretly hoping the seller mismeasured
enjoy that beauty
Wow. Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!Recently acquired from Lounger mmbarnes, this Black Knox Superfine with a contrasting, wine-colored ribbon. Very nice felt - perfect shape; soft, pliable and easy to mold. Originally sold by Charters-Patterson of Springfield, OH. Quick online research shows C-P starting up business in 1939 and going out of business sometime in the 60s or early 70s.
