Simpson BB3 made for Brooks Brothers

Nice! What are planning to put in them?

 

[tinashubby]

I really like the one on the left! But I gotta ask, what is the cylinder out of?

 

[hig789]

It's a Dave22 copper revolver bead. Lanyard bead.

I'm planning on a flattop finest in the middle one. Best in the one on the left. And the lucite is undecided as of yet. Maybe a short loft best.

Thanks Mario. Haven't had the chance to use them yet, I have been on nights at work. Tomorrow night though.

These are fantastic. You've done a great job restoring them. I particularly like the BA8.

Keep up the fine work.
