Thanks. The Clauss was in good condition and he also showed me an old wedge that was covered in rust. These along with the strop hanging on one of the chairs were his tools of the trade. He would not think of partying with, and I had the respect not to ask him to. We did have a good time discussing straights and brushes. You could tell it was still a passion of his, though he no longer had need to use the old ways.
