Just met a woman up here in Nederland who has a cabin adorned with vintage Holubar stuff, she spent time in the Valley around '70 and hung out with Bridwell & Co.; hinted at wanting some access for photos of the gear, no dice, yet...

A guy can just never have enough shoes.....Man was Dolt a character. That impact statement was actually a strange Vulcan material exploration! More old Dolt madness.

That friend is straight early production rather than a funky prototype. Holubar gear could be tasty there Roy. Hope you get to eyeball it.

Since my rack has a couple dozen Friends of that vintage I thought this might be an item of interest.
The rarely seen "Friend of a Friend" by Ed Leeper. It works great, and I have used it to great advantage over the years.

edit, sorry I am new to posting photos and I realize that image size is too large. I will get this figured out better!

Cool Hershey memorial. The story about him instructing his dog to "bite them, bite the hangdogs!" still makes me laugh every time I think of it. Amazing character, tragic end.
