Item Details

Description

The Key Lock & Lantern diagrams show 3 different Alton bits. This is the one on page 180, C1, R3. The ARR marking on the front may throw some off thinking it's Alaska or some other "A" road. It's with noting that the Alton liked to be called the Alton. The back has Adlake in a straight line and a number of "6041" showing some pocket wear to the tops of the numbers. The bit shows a little use.
