Alfredo,

I did not know that. Thanks.

I am more of an Android person than Apple.

Regards,

Don


However extra hardware is required.

Looking at the piece with the "C-face" , I detect what I have heard some dealers describe as "edge-wear" but it certainly does not detract from the overall aesthetics of the piece :-) :-) :-)

"Overall in good condition damagewise"... (also an often used statement on certain webpages):D

IIs it possible that such objects also have penetration twins of C and H (so-called W twins)?

This has been a ton of fun about, of all things, a hot water faucet. Strange. But it is important nonetheless. If you look at the news every night you get the impression that the world is in conflict continually. No hope for different nationalities. Yet here (oh god this is serious) we can have fun over a trivial hot water faucet (fine though it undoubtedly is). I think this is more real than any news broadcast. Too bad we share it with only ourselves. A wider audience might gain some lessons from a stupid water faucet. Well done to all on this thread to all brothers of the earth and geology. PS. Is the fixture for sale perhaps??
