    Cool! The ornate front and plain pile-side almost makes it look like a microtome!

    I too, am very interested in the Duracote experiment!

    Yeah, Lummus thought that the '& Sons' mark only came into play around 1816, but he was definitely wrong. Poor guy didn't have Google Books! The "& Sons" mark goes back to 1801.
