As seen in the photo, the cases are marked 10, 12, and 16, but the owner is unable to provide further information as to what type is in what case. From time to time Briar Press hosts auctions of interest from individuals who are retiring, or from estates. These auctions are a free service of Briar Press, to keep this equipment in the hands of those who will use/preserve it. The auction started at $9.99, no reserve, for the type and case which must be picked up near Denver, Colorado.
