Happy New Year to All
Can anyone identify the maker of this tip? (see attached)
The only distinguishing mark is the stamped number "1" on the face just above the tang. It is somewhere between the Mack and RDG1 tips and reminds me somewhat of the Brannon X. I've asked them, btw, and they said it's not theirs.
I've had this tip for many years and found it in a box that was mistakenly hidden away. It may have been originally purchased from Jack Spratt but not sure. When it was likely purchased about the only places that sold commercially made tips was Nielson, Brannon, Spratt and Gilbert. This is definitely a machine made tip. I've tried my hand at them and they never, ever look this well refined.
Thanks for any input.
Richard
