Question on Troddels

[Geoff Ward]

Hello all,a friend of mine sent me a photo of two troddels he just acquired.I dont recall seeing these with the strapping material inside the opening of the acorn before am I overlooking something or is this method of assembly correct? Regards,Geoff

[rbminis]

The method is correct in some cases, I have seen them done in this manner before.
Can't help you any more than that I'm afraid.
Ralph.

[Billy G]

They're perfectly fine.

Look good to me Geoff. And Billy knows his stuff. Helped me out a year or so ago (if I remember correctly) trying to identify a large lot that my friend got!
