Thanks, Don!
The 4 1/2 has two patent dates, I haven’t researched it yet but I believe it’s early. The tote sits up high on a pedestal. I’ve got it apart now, there’s some chips and cracks in the sole, it could be a user but not minty restoration material. I’ll have to see if there are any Union #2s on eBay, and what they measure out to. It’s really narrow, I’ve got to remember to keep a tape measure, and the cell phone camera with me when we go plundering.
