One out of Two Ain't Bad

The Espey appears at page 53 of The Catalogue.

Or, I should say, half of an Espey.  Although it was the only one I had seen up until that time, it was in pretty rough shape, with the top missing, the barrel cracked, and not working.  Since I'd never seen another one and didn't want to risk further damage, I chose to leave it alone until I found another one.

The moment finally came a couple of weeks ago, when this one surfaced on ebay . . .

NOTE:  This article is now included in the print version of The Leadhead's Pencil Blog, available anywhere you buy books, or also from The Legendary Lead Company.

To order, here's the link:  Volume 1 at Legendary Lead Company
