The abolute finest and one requiring some of the most work in handcraft precision having a locking mechanism which will allow the length of the draw to be set at any position.

A blued metal spring loaded clip to hold the jaws in position clipped to the performer's cuff which in the get ready will close quickly and smoothly once in position.

A perfectly contoured sleeve that is a square taper holds the alligator style jaws in a closed position reducing the bulk at the performer's cuff line. This too sleeves perfectly and quietly away opening the jaws to take hold of the item and then sleeves forward again with a perfect fit to secure the item prior to the release of the pull.

Anyone having any idea of manufacturer techniques would tell you upon examination that this is one supreme effort and precision make never to be seen again. Condition very fine.

This item was acquired from Jon Martin and owned by Richard Himber.

The Jon Martin items are the absolute finest and few are fortunate to claim ownership of the genuine article and those that do will tell you nothing else compares.

Jon Martin passed away in 1968 at the age of 87 years and there is no evidence of his equal today.
