Unlikely since one was in upstate NY. And the other was in Birmingham England

Wouldn't it have been nice if the Parker records were always this legible and with fewer cryptic abbreviations?

Having had the pleasure to spend part of a day with Chuck a few months ago and getting to help him with a couple of the letters, I'd have to say he's drastically underpaid.

'14-7/8 bare T'......? This is, I assume, one of the stock measurements. Can anyone tell me what it means?
The rib entry has me puzzled, also. It appears to be '_t rib'. I just can't tell if that is an upper case 'E' in front of the 't'. The rib is a nicely matted, concave type.

The first may be a cryptic entry for file cut rib... more commonly known as matted today.
Taken together with the other butt measurements, I assume the other spec means "bare toe" as per the stock toe. |
