Russ Huber Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Jim is on target. In order to really appreciate Prismatic Super Root powder coat finish you have to see it in the flesh. It really pops.

Russ Huber Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I used the darker Prismatic Root beer Metallic on the Edgar T. Ward Deluxe model to closer match the 30s chocolate brown, yet add some life to the finish with metallic flake. The finish would change based on the amount of lighting.

Russ Huber Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Nice, Jim, If you open the link below you should see a building remodeled into a law office. For many years it once was a dentist office.

Both 720 and 760 locations are too small for a dentist's income raising a family. Both locations strategically located on the main drag coming into town. That model hit the market in 16. His father/dentist may have purchased them just prior to the start of son's practice. Bosworth Co. dental supplies established in 14 just prior to the introduction of your HB models.
