Here is a Clark & Hall straight I obtained for $29.50 on the bay. It's in rough shape but I have NEVER seen an old straight like that with a round toe!!!! I'll have to do some work to it, make new scales & such but it will be nice when done.

Man! that's oldern' Christmas! ;)
Very nice.
Thanks guys....................it's older than OLD!!!! Got an ultrasonic cleaner I got on sale which will come in handy on straights.
:hmmm:...............Hmmmmmm, I wonder if that Evap-O-Rust will work in the ultrasonic cleaner?
Good catch, very nice...and that is an old soldier.
Thanks Andrew. You ever see a round pointed one before?Quote:

The Harwood is more or less in the style of No. 669; I have a Wostenholm in the style of 674. By the way, let me know if you are not planning on keeping the original scales.
