Thread: Puma Dubl Duck! WHAT?

OK, I guess I was wrong about them being rare!

Perhaps C-Mon made Filarmonica's as well? Or was it Filarmonica making C-Mons? I belive I've seen something like this on Ebay as well, quite recently if I'm not mistaken.

It could just be a consignment deal between Filarmonica and Monkhouse, but interesting nonetheless.

I don't think you are wrong about them being rare. You definitely don't see them every day but they do turn up.

Carl Monkhouse was C-Mon but whether he actually owned and operated a factory is unknown to me. His importer before WWll was Peter J. Michaels. Following the war he went to Ellicottville, NY and the C-Mons were made there. I have one of the C-Mon/Fillys and it must have been a short run Monkhouse contracted out to Filarmonica. Those are also fairly rare IME. I've only been able to land one of those. I imagine Joed probably has picked up some of the Puma/ducks and C-Mon/Fillys in his travels. He has a collection to die for.

Really they are plain Jane Puma's. In the early days Bresnick was a retailer for other brands too so it's kind of like hypothetically speaking you went into Sears to buy a Chainsaw and it was made by Stihl and said Stihl on one side and Sears on the other. I don't think they were customized in any way for Bresnick other than the stamp.

Looks like it got pulled. There is a $150 bid, and after that everything was canceled. I almost wonder if someone PM'ed him with an offer he couldn't refuse.
