I am still in search of KE Leroy lettering pen points sizes: 3233-00 3233-000 3233-4x0 If anyone has any of these that they would be willing to sell I would...
there are two people on ebay selling leroy pens (3233 series). you might want to give them a try. i think if you search for "leroy points" or "leroy pens"...
Hi Dave, Thanks for the links, I have already checked them out and they are both selling the long points that are labelled b, c, etc. and these do not work as...
i understand. i only use the same kind of points you are looking for; the ones without the B, C, or BC suffixes on the part number. one of the sellers (The...
Yes, I read that also but I didn't figure it worth my while as there were only a couple available that I was interested in. I have faith that one of these...
Extraordinary Eggs, So Jeo. Why can't you use standard tech pen points of the size you're looking for? Calvert Guthrie (a lettering guy) Kansas City...
Hi Calvert, Thanks so much for the compliment! I am not familiar with the standard tech pen points, can you tell me about them? Thanks So Jeo ... From:...
Hi, I just purchased a partial set of instruments which includes a beam compass, ellipsograph and a few other items. I am not certain but I suspect it may be...
Hi Ken, That is indeed an interesting set. I especially like the calipers and the small ellipsograph. The beam compass has features that remind me of a similar...
Hi John, Thanks for the information, I have only seen a few Gysi & Co. sets for sale, so I am not very familar with them. If anyone has images of other sets by...
Hi Ken, I am sure you have gone over your set for any markings. Kern usually put tiny markings on their dividers, see Juerg Dedual's Wild Heerbrugg site: ...
Does anyone have a resource for discontinued accessories for erasing machines? I'm looking for the old metal slip-chuck (the ring and collet that hold the...
The set looks to be by Kern or Gysi. I have never seen Kern inside and outside caliper points and the presence of an elliptical trammel of that design also...
Hi John, The instruments do appear to resemble the Gysi more than the Kern style. I had seen two of the three sites before though I hadn't found Juerg's...
Hi Dave, Thanks for the information, it sounds like the set most likely is made by Gysi. While my research showed Kern beam compasses that more resembled mine,...
I am not sure what is going on with this ellipsograph but it seems something odd is going on. First Ebay Listing: Rare & Important Farey Ellipsograph Drawing...
I can't find it listed now so I suspect your first guess was right and the original winner backed out & they re-listed it priced to catch the nearest loser....
David, The original Ebay #330392360830.and the relisted Ebay #330395842038. Another possibility is a cloned account. I have seen instances on Ebay of accounts...
Robert, It's clearly the same item. There's no way there are two identical ones or they wouldn't be described as unique. They are very rare and the asking...
Dave, I am sure you are correct. I have been out of the loop for some time now and not purchased anything in 2 years. Money is tight and storage is short....

I have made quite a few revisions to the timeline below and while still far from complete it is getting there. As I get this more complete I will add images...
I've just posted pics of my acquistion today of a rather old set, probably French dating from 1700s I think. The case is covered with tooled leather and lined...
That is a Very Nice set..... Why do you call it French? Is it signed? I have one set with the same type of chamois covered case that I was told and even bought...
WmR, Thanks for looking. My unsigned set resembles the one described as being French (ca. 1750) on page 58 of "Preziosen der Handwerkskunst"; (this is the...
This is why I love this type of sharing of information....... your post made me take a closer look at a set that I had packed away (for not being so...
Thank you very much for the photos... my case has one of the "wire" latch hooks on it and I thought it was a replacement but maybe not based on your photo. The...
