J.P. Clabrough & Bros.

[James Palmer]

Larry Sheldon wrote the Claybrough book. He passed away a little over a yr ago and his family is selling the collection. I was in Reno this past weekend and viewed about 15 of them his wife and stepson brought along.

I will be mtng them in the next few weeks to look at some other stuff but if anyone has an interest in acquiring a Claybrough let me know and I can see what they have left.

Regards

James

I spoke with Steve Evans, whom I purchased the Clabrough from and he said this one was indeed purchased from the Larry Sheldon collection.
I have taken possession of the Clabrough and I am extremely pleased. It appears to have seen very little use and locks up like it's new. I'm enclosing an interesting photo of the rib near the dolls head. It reads "Treble Wedge Fast", as I interpret it, meaning the two under barrel lugs and the top lever latch engaging the groove in the Dolls Head, thus three (treble) locking (fast) points.
