OK, I have to make sure I didn't have too much LSD with this morning's
coffee.
Most, if not all of us know the basics of wrought iron. In particular
we are familiar with single- double- and tripe-refined grades. There
was an even finer grade that was refined a fourth time. As far as I
recall, this was called "king's bar". Am I insane? I mean on this
point and not in the general sense.
I remember reading about it in a book and that particular volume listed
the various English proof marks that were employed for the various
grades. As I recall there was a special mark for King's Bar.
Anyone recall what book this may have been in? What I don't recall is
whether I bought it... I seem to think not, but why? Po'ness, perhaps.
Thanks,
