From Chile. This is equal to the darkest I've seen. Shown with a Whitall Tatum Co. No. 9 for comparison - the WT is not included in this sale. Marked "CA" over "Y" on the front and "T.S. 23" on the rear. Has typical thin, well executed, grind at bottom mold seam. Two micro pings separate this from perfect mint condition. Remember when these went for $700? Have this for $225 postpaid.
