Edgar, I had a nice Enterprise grinder and coveted a monster Parker 900 in an Eastern Shore antique shop. The 900 had little original finish and the dealer traded me even for the Enterprise. The 900 is the only one I have seen for sale.

Bill, I went to an auction last night, on the spur of the moment, based on a phone call 30 minutes before the auction started. They had a nice nice original No.200, and while that's a fairly common model, in this condition, not so common.
I made a quick call to my 'expert', Mr. Romig, and on his guidance, dropped out in the low sixes. What killed me about leaving it, in the drawer, was the original Parker open end wrench, which I have NEVER seen before. I took the money I saved, by not buying it, went over to Dover Furnace, and had Ralph "Lefty" Fabricius measure me up fora pair of triple vamp Russel Bird hunting boots. I asked him how long he had been with Russell, to which he replied "I married the owner's daughter in 1953." Interesting sidebar, he said his uncle was Charlie Larsen, who won the GRand American, in 1919. |

I like that story a lot, but I am a bit stressed in my schedule for investigating ATA trapshooters. Give me a day or two. Oh heck, I looked it up and Charles won the Grand American in 1917, not 1919. Congratulations, Charles.

Edger, had a buddy who has a wood working shop and loves to make things like yours make me one. It's a little bigger. Man does it work great. Thanks for the idea.

I use a trim doctor, available online from balistic products. It is good for whatever gauge you desire. Just buy the dies kit for the gauge you want
