Re: Frank L. Kaspar & Frank Kaspar

I believe that Frank L. Kaspar was the senior. Both Kaspars used a variety of blanks - none of which they actually made themselves - over the years which include several variations of lines down. These blanks included Chedeville, LeLandais, Rafault, and Babbitt. Most of the earlier mouthpieces were Chedeville blanks while later mouthpieces were some left over Chedeville blanks labeled LeLandais and later still Babbitt. Both worked their trade on blanks available to them at the time. They would shave off the blank maker logo on a lathe before adding their own logo.
