Could be a well worn, small Foxhead if the copperhead fits all the way in.

Bonjour everybody!
I sent an email to Bill Forrest yesterday and asked him some information about this strange Forrest(?) "nest of nut". "Wait and see" as British say...

Nothing at all extraordinary about that Foxhead, Stephane. They are all like that in design. The core head fits neatly into the casting and, in this case, has loosened up enough that it isn't staying put. Bill is probably going to be a bit baffled at your question.

That half page ad is great!
Ed forgot to mention that it is also useful for eating antipasto.

Stephane, I know you have one. I meant - you know - a 'normal' person out and about 'in the wild' so to speak.

Another very early nut article by John Armitage from Summit September 1967.

Bump for Earth Day.
My Dad and I made nuts in his shop back in the mid 70s. We copied the Gendarme Nuts but made them half-sizes of the Seneca originals. And also made some mini-Peckers by knurling stainless steel rod stock. We wired them and I climbed with them for a couple of years. Still have a couple in the collection.

If you are gay I think you have it backwards. (Not that there's anything wrong with it.)

One of those smallest wired pecks dubiously thrutched into place end-to-end at the very last shaking second saved my life in Eldo back in the day. Still ugly just thinking about it.

Just recently scored two sets of Leeper AntiPitons and sent one set to Marty and the other to Chicken Skinner. Stephane already had them so now all three collections have a set.
