Pichney A 40 Originals????

yup lips look genuine and the marks on the front where the spur center stuck in. He never really sanded those out very often. Blanks were cut right to size, no false ends. They were fishing catching implements, not art projects.

Thanks guys, was hoping they were originals

The other a 40s ive seen of his were much more finished, rounded nose, lips had the bends on the edges, angle of nose loop was different, but those were collector ones that had never seen water.

Im glad these are originals and adding them to the collection is nice too, hopefully I can turn some copies this winter, if i do Ill post all the dimensions.

any idea why his are so much bigger than the rest of the atom 40s made around the same time? It makes the wood bob pond 40s i have look so tiny.

Thanks again guys.
