Huh ?

Jim Green (Fenwick) started the graphite revolution with the HMG line.
He also developed the modern ferrule that we all use today.
Business decisions caused the Fenwick of old to die in about 1988.
I scarfed up a small bunch of the last Fenwick USA blanks that I could get my hands on in 1988.
