    Pretty neat stuff! The idea of a partnership/unity sounds like a novel idea. I lived in the UK for six months, and current day Brits aren't overly fond of Americans

    Ha! Not necessarily to the bank! Pretty common etch, there is one in the "butcher shop" club which is frosted on.
    It kept nagging me until Martin hit it. "Hey! I have that!"

    I rest my case.

    Is it really that common? Most of us were left scratching our heads and the view counter was looking pretty hefty.

    Know this is an old, really old thread, but thanks guys, I just bought a W&B off of eBay and it has those markings. It is a 7/8 wedge. It is very light but you can still make out some of the words and the eagle is still visible. So 1880's is the time frame????
