Keefer!

(i wonder if there is a Keefer madness website out there...

If not, there should be...)

Sorry... I'll try to remain dignified and reserved.

PS. Is there a term for the pistons sticking up over the top bow? It's a weird and cool feature...

Thanks!

Somehow for me the link resolves to a brasshistory.net link means i guess i just don't know what google share means.

It lists all known Keefer instruments from the beginning with serial numbers and descriptions...
