Looks like a very lovingly reinforced pair of Fires or very late model EBs to me. Beyond that I have no real good idea.

Looks like a Universal style piton so I would guess Maestri/Egger since you are the one asking, Jim.

Here you see an Exentric 8. There is no Camp sign anywhere on the Exentric and no Chouinard sign. Excentrik has first been stamped into the metal, letter by letter, using a K as the last letter and the K has then been changed to a C.

Those letters are individually stamped and the 8 is tiny so that isn't a commercial marking on that nut. It may have been an unstamped second that someone finished on their own. The end cuts look to be too close to the sling holes too. Definitely an unusual nut. Is it one of yours?

Yes, I bought it at the same time as I bought some others that were marked Camp and Exentric in the usual professional way. And Exentric is still the name, not Hexentric.
The 8 looks professionally made, not handstamped.

Looking at the ends of the nut, does the extrusion thickness and profile look the same as the others that you bought?

Could be one of the original prototypes?

"Does the extrusion thickness and profile look the same as the others that you bought"
No, there is a difference both in form and thickness. The outer measures of the two Exentrics are exactly the same.

That's a masonry anchor Cowboy. I think Harvey Carter was the first person that I am aware of to use those on sandstone routes in the Fischer Towers.
