Thanks SG! I believe that the Fishers were the first place I ever saw such leaden soft steel with the two-part integral jacket/hanger with nail. This one appeared to leave some further amount of sleeve/jacket material behind when I pulled it.

Marlow- definitely two different extrusions which is why I asked. I wonder where yours originated? Anyone have a stamped match for this atypical profile?

Steve.

I have no idea where it originated. The hand stamped Exentri-k/-c came with the ordinary Camp Exentrics and these three mystery nuts:


If I should guess, they are all connected to Camp.

The nuts don't carry a single sign of their name or origin. The one in the middle is clearly made of a different more grey metal mix than the two others.

Not very old and possible not a mystery, but fascinating nontheless - Camp Interalp descender for use at work:

Dahu might well confirm the following information:
Discensore "JOB", 1980 (Art. 656.000)

Thanks to you and Dahu. That's surely as exact as it can be.

Marlow- Those last three mystery nuts would be someone's attempt to work out the best taper angle for a stopper type nut early on or a very inept attempt at copying existing designs as they have no second side taper. As prototypes they wouldn't be stamped. Was there anything else that is of 1960s era age in the lot of gear?

The three mystery nuts came with the hand-stamped Exentri-c/-k and three ordinary machine-stamped Camp Exentrics.

The mystery continues...

Tom Frost called the three attitude Hexentric the "Eccentric" Hexentric.

Nutstory and Marlow - What history do you have on these? They both have the same swag as the Simond Bicams, but one only has a number and the other looks like it is painted blue with the words "ELITE"

I also notice that the Simond nuts have two different colors. Different generations?

With the Simond Asymetrics I notice that the holes for the cord on some are drilled far apart, and on others they are close together.

Some Simond Chocks have the letter "N" and some do not. Different generations? Does "N" stand for Number?
