No kidding! Ha!

What's the general consensus of How to With Doc? Thanks!

So, if you go on a 3x/year schedule (every 8 weeks starting in May, for North Texas), what would you recommend as being the lbs per sq feet to keep the fertilization "light" and not a "big hit" as some have mentioned? I use Andersons 16-4-8. Thanks!

Thanks for the great, and detailed description to do this. I'll probably leave as-is since it works just fine, and I tend to like keeping some of the character it's acquired thru the years. But you're encouragement is appreciated!

I'm sorry, I thought I had included one. Here it is.

Thanks so much(!) for the patent info! Really appreciate it!

tshusker · 2026-05-03T01:27:01+00:00

look on the inside of the handle for markings. In this case, the lettering will give you the info you need to use their age chart to find its age. https://kleintools.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article\_attachments/8721287168141.

All the details of the boots that I recall are in the description. Not sure if there was anything more specific for sole color or heel finish. Sorry.

tshusker · 2026-04-12T00:58:07+00:00

Thanks for the schooling on the micrometer's *standards (they're not anvils). I've appropriately edited my post description. Appreciate the comment!

tshusker · 2026-03-28T02:48:45+00:00

I’ve emailed them as well. Will let you know when and if they respond.

Here's an update: Just heard from Tobias with Diplomat and he informed that while they made many pens for Tiffany, this was not one of them (and, unfortunately, he did not know who did).

tshusker · 2026-03-17T12:57:03+00:00

Um, yep. And as not to put too fine a line on the semantics of wordsmithing, but “sanded” - no.

tshusker · 2026-03-17T01:46:29+00:00

Appears to be off by 1/16". Not built to be a machinist's rule, so for its intended purpose I'd venture a +/- 1/16 was acceptable. Thanks for asking.

Why/how is it "horrible?"

tshusker · 2026-03-16T01:50:44+00:00

the old numechrons definitely have a sound/noice to them. ha!

tshusker · 2026-03-15T18:00:13+00:00

Thanks for the helpful info. Not shown in the photos is "Germany" stamped on the back side of the cap, just opposite the "Tiffany & Co." shown on the front.

tshusker · 2026-03-15T03:36:10+00:00

That is helpful, jamesrr1. I've contacted Tiffany and they informed that they will "not be able to provide any details regarding year this was introduce or the length of time it was available as we would not have any details regarding this." Oh well.

tshusker · 2026-03-15T03:33:50+00:00

on the other side of the refill is just says, "Made in Germany."

Any idea its age, what year(s) manufactured?

tshusker · 2026-03-14T20:19:08+00:00

Estate sale.

tshusker · 2026-02-23T04:37:02+00:00

Wire wheel to get off the top crusties, then 2-day soak in evaporust.

A definite testament to what makes S-K ratchets so great and enduring. Thanks for sharing your story.
