? GEO. BURAND ???

[Aunt Phil]

Anybody else ever stumble onto a forged scraper he made?

I pulled a sweet low mileage babbit scraper GEO made.  I know he made it from a beat to hell file cause GEO took the time to stamp his name in before he tempered and hardened the tool. 

I spent a whole 10 minutes cleaning it up enough to read his mark.

GEO didn't waste much time grinding the file teeth away, and he had a damn good sense of balancing the scraper, so he was probably a machine tool repair man.
