John Barber "Old English" Captured in the WILD!

[Antique Hoosier]

My lucky day.... I snagged this John Barber "Old English" Wedge at a local haunt. It has the stubby monkey tail, interesting horn scales and simply marked minus the typical Masonic Scale & Compass. I don't know if that males it earlier or later than the one I have enroute from Ol' Blighty. I just know I absolutely love it.

Nice score.

How I envy you guys with local haunts where you can find this stuff... lol

Nice score. I remember you being all pumped the other day for finding a John Barber, now you have a spare.

I failed to mention, top and bottom jimps on the tang of this lovely slab of steel.

Congratulations on a great find

Great find. Someone will be able to date it with that stubby tail and relatively straight scales.

Score! That is very similar to the one I'll scoop up one day.

Strange coincidence, me too is gonna run in to one of those soon.
And mine was previously owned by Charles Dickens
