This was my Grandfathers Company. The tails were dipped in green paint and the wrapped in a bright red paper and distributed via manufacturers reps throughout the US
I own 1 arion file and love it so much. Fast fine metal file. Best ive ever used tbh. Was looking for more when i came upon this site. Be proud of what your family made.
I just came back from Deland FL where I visited this old sawmill/woodshop and the owner sold me a few very old files. To my luck, I am now a proud owner of a green tip Arion.
