Very nice and with that LOP I'm going to have to think seriously about it.

I should have bought this from you Dave, instead of the parts. health turned and may never get that fowler built.

Contemporary build. I don't know who built it as there are no marks. Penny on the wrist inlay is 1991 I think.
