Dear Orchidians,
Maybe life is moving faster than me. I have this old half-round
drawplate(s) that needs describing, so that it can go to a good home.
There are 30 numbered holes, plus the words GESSWEIN, and FRANCE, and
the part number(?) 035.175. The largest half-round hole is about
1.5mm on the belly, if that. The hole sizes dwindle down to just
plumb crosseyed tiny, technically speakin’.
It’s in a plastic sleeve with a sticker still on the backing,
reading:
Fine tools & supplies GESSWEIN Since 1914
PAUL H. GESSWEIN & CO. INC.
235 PARK AVE SOUTH, N.Y, N.Y 10003
DRAW PLATE NO 323
Gesswein’s Customer service offered the following help:
Per our technical department, unfortunately we no longer have these specs, the draw plate is very old.
My thanks in advance to many of the most brilliant people on earth.
