Duo-Art Test Roll
By Ellsworth Johnson

I have a Duo-Art test roll with instruction pamphlet that was
manufactured by Gordon Iles of London, England, on original Duo-Art
perforators that he owned, he having been with Aeolian Corp of London.
(He is now deceased.)  I purchased the roll new and have owned it for
approximately 35 years.  It is in good condition now.

The brand name is "Artona", which was Gordon Iles' roll manufacturing
business name.  I have seen and used other brand Duo-Art test rolls in
bygone years and I feel none of those compared to this particular test
roll.

I was thinking of advertising it on eBay auction, as Frank Adams
recently did just that for an Ampico test roll which he sold for more
than $27 plus shipping costs.  I will sell for $25 plus shipping cost.
