Very nice original with nice frosted finish remaining.
The maker is RK from Gablonz. As Nicolas says, it is commonly thought to be Rudolf Karneth, but there were other makers located in Gablonz with the initials RK, specifically Robert Kriesel, etc. Whoever the maker was, nice example.

If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

Tom, I was waiting for you to call it a Karneth so you could get Bruce stirred up when he looks at this thread. Calling these Karneths is better than a cup of coffee to get his blood flowing!
Bruce, don't get upset, just messing with you, though I'm 99% sure they are made by Karneth!

Hehe, I like to mix it up every now and then and keep Bruce on his toes

Hi Dale
That is funny, but at least Bruce and some of us have managed to get you down from 100%
You mentioned "pillow" but "pillow crimp" IABs are a different design.

Total agreement.
The truth be told, collecting wouldn't be as much fun without you gents around to liven things up.
We're not always on the same page, but we've accepted one another just the same.
And yes, threads such as these have been known to get the ol blood flowing.
Much better than caffeine.
