I made a new friend today, his name was Allen. Allen is an engraver.... I visited Allen in his workshop in Harold Square. Allen was a nice gentleman who told me pieces of his life story.
He informed me he engraved Jimmy Fallon's doorknocker
He shared with me this great full set of silverware from 1947 this "gothic kid with black painted fingernails" left at his workshop 7 years ago. He then tried to sell it to me.
He also told me about this urn someone left in his workshop that he then made into an ashtray. Clever I guess?
He hopes to sell Brooklyn bridge designed cufflinks at wholesale soon. Good luck Allen!
