As well made and stylish as that one is I wouldn't be surprised if it was shop made for the maker.

Shop made ? I never thought of that, (the base is a casting). I looked all over it expecting to find a brand name like Moore and Wright.

Just for grins, though I'm sure you would have mentioned it if relavant, what is the text on the vertical bar under the center dial?

Nice catch, I didn't see that before. It would be nice to know what it says.
