EK 1939 a 1957 EK 1

[joe campbell]

the newest member of my EK family,

courtesy of the wise and amiable tony!!

it appears to be an earlier issue with

a magnetic core, 98% finish, and a

hinge reminiscent of some of the '39's.

the main difference is the catch, which is

a flattish affair that would raise eyebrows

in a 1939 issue.

BTW, tony was an absolute pleasure to

work with.

comments appreciated, esp regarding period of manufacture.

thanks,

joe
