    1894 Lodi Fishing Pliers

    There you go Don. The cover of the Lp. Nice thought. I go by there often on the way to the Market. The building still stands and was converted into small studios. Have to go by and snap a pik. Now the building very nondescript compared to the Duck Kee days.

    Lufkin 50 Foot Cloth Measuring Tape - Any ideas on year of this beauty?

    Nice! Same exact model. The one I have is so worn and used, that the area on the perimeter of the case on yours on the side where it says 'Lufkin Made in USA' is gone. But the 50 FT. is readable. Thanks.
