someone, or more than one, was looking for one.   just noticed one coming up at an auction.  it is a narragansett [ i have one ]  and these are not a perfect item, they are hard to find.

Hi,
I doubt it is 72 caliber.  Did Narragansett try and peddle something like that?

Mike Brooks:
That's a lot better than the one RIACO sold in the past year. The stock  was probably 40% Accra glass. Narragansett quality was never at the top.

it is likely .62 or .65, probably a typo or maybe the auction house doesnt have a clue. 

yes, the quality is not great.  right now Bill Paton has mine and is comparing it to others which  he has access to.
