 Re: Shaper tips -- changing one aspect will cause what?

Bob,

I still use a shaper tip which I bought in the mid 70s from Peter Angelo, who was an accessory dealer and freelancer in the NYC area. The little envelope it came in, which I still have, had handwritten on it: "Am sending you my best tip. This style is widely used. P.A."

It has an N at the base in the same place as the Brannen X has an X. I have tried to compare it to a number of tip dimension charts and it comes very close to, and for all I know may very well be, a Brannen N; it is also similar in dimensions to the Ruth tip from the Adam series. It is on the wider side at the tip, at around 7.1mm, and has a fairly parallel sloped heart and narrow base below the wrap point. The shaped cane ties best at 73.5-74.

Do you think the tip is an original Brannen N?
