So, to tally (this is very exciting to me), I’ve learned about D.R. Barton and have a new reason to collect them (my man, Swift); Cab’s got me re-interested in the Stanley #40’s; I’ve found a fellow T.H.W. guy in D. Kirtley (who’s got a set that might possibly threaten his life in real life; but this is the internet, thankfully); Bill’s backing me up on the Butcher’s & that’s the first I’m hearing of a saw! Roper’s in on the Swans (own a few) & gives a nod to the Pexto big boys.

This is glorious.
