very nice lemon peel
KHK, Very nice pick up....I was an underbidder I think...at least if my snipe registered anyway...I didn't swing hard since I have one already (I was just trying to bunt)....but that is a very nice example...ya done good!!....Mark, That is one clean lemon peel...great shape....nice collection....Lemon peels are interesting because they are all unique...different sizes, colors, thread variation...If I'm not mistaken, seems I heard the latter lemon peels were mass manufactured and were available thru catalogs....but I'd have to check with John Gennantonio on that....and then you have the ambitious homemade ones. Below my one example from my collection...and below that two pages from Gennantonio's book....which I suggest getting before it's out of print....
