What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Ironbut]

My latest from Cases recent run of Barlows & maybe the nicest of the whole bunch. The fine saw cuts remind me of my old well used Case XX Barlows that I don't carry often for fear of losing them.

TC question: I was looking at 2014 GEC production totals and I see some Genuine Barlows listed with the number 152114EC. Doesn’t EC stand for “end cap” in GEC’s coding? Can somebody straighten me out here? Thanks.

Beautiful in its flawedness!!
Wikipedia ; In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".
