B57-257 WANTAGE ROD. Primes Patent. Patented 7/23/78 by Eli S. Primes of Baltimore, according to the patent it combines both the "out stick" used when the barrel is less than half full with the "in stick."16" long, marked with patent information, it looks like someone added a coat of lacquer but still clearly legible. According to the records of the Internal Revenue Service, its use was required by revenue agents until 1897 when it was replaced by Alexander's Improved Wantage Rods. We can only assume Mr. Alexander made a larger contribution to his Congressman's campaign fund. Good+ 100-200 **All bids must be placed by end of day Friday, October 30, 2020.
