Here are two 134 pieces I picked up recently. The one on the right is the "Lyndeborough" I got via Eagle Cap. The other one was purchased off of eBay. I couldn't believe it when I pulled it out of the box. This 134 is OVER 4 and a half inches tall. And has a half-inch chunk of grey firebrick strategically placed in the dome just above the wiregroove. This is far and away the tallest 134 I have ever had my hands on. It is even a half inch taller than the Pennyquicks that are tall in their own right. The Lyndeborough is the exact same height as most 134's(American, 1871's, WFG's, etc).....and you can see the difference. Something else strange about the piece is that I believe it's Pennyquick, however the threads start getting messed up looking about an inch from the top like Americans do, from the plunger.
