Thread: Clark & Hall

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.
...............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?

I haven't either! I think it's a more rare one. You can see from the pics it wasn't altered.

You might be interested in Smith's Key (~ 1816). There are round points from that time around, I have a couple hanging around. Here's one:



Here are some illustrations from Smith's Key:







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.

That's a beautiful Harwood!!! I wanted the Harwood that went the other day but someone else got it. I hope it was someone here.
