| Description: |  | John Nester is back with an improvement to his earlier patent (72,885 - 12/31/1867) in which he enhances the original idea by allowing the marking knife to be pivoted out of the way when not in use. He also added a spring to hold the knife in place when the screw was loosened. |  |
