Good Earth

[geocash]

I've seen pictures of Good Earth handles on a Case Classic that show some shrinkage but otherwise I think the stuff looks very attractive. The only references to Good Earth handles that I've found don't address its stability. Maybe the information is here somewhere but I just haven't been able to find it. Do any of you have experience, good or bad, with it?

" short version of the story- Good Earth is a celluloid handle material later replaced by more stable synthetics like Corelon or Delrin-The Good Earth celluloid looks remarkably like wood, so it it is easy to mistake, especially from a photo"

I’ve not seen anything much different & that’s not real encouraging. I don’t have any celluloid (to my knowledge) & don’t reckon there’s enough reason to start now. Thank you, Jerry. (Some of the Good Earth sure is pretty, though.)

Great handles indeed
