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.
