I've added a minor metal maker Eugene Custer (I think) to the A-Z pages (much more on those pages when I'm settled in a new home - year or so), the accompanying image for which is pretty shite, but it is better . . .
. . . than it was; image on the left! These all came from the James Chase Collection a decade and a half ago, he was big in Floridian port management and obviously had the use of an early photostat or photo-copier of some kind, which prints like MacDonald's recipts, changing colour near heat and eventually fading to nothing! Anyway, I've managed to get it back partially with heavy contrast, certainly enough to ID the heavy, square bases . . . and as we work through the A-Z entries there will be more of them! It's a page from an old Polk's catalogue, circa 1950'ish?
