I've got one like that, another inherited tool (though not one I use much any more), and a favorite because the action is so sweet and it is conveniently small. It has a patent date of Oct. 7, 1884. And a mark "Decatur Coffin Co." Not sure "assembly line" is quite the right term. Tom Conroy Berkeley |
