: I forgot:
: The Herbert Johnson is a little darker than the Peters Bros. The HJ ribbon (with the bow sewn on correctly) is about 1 7/16" wide. The Peter Bros. ribbon is identical in appearance and about 1 3/8" wide.
: NOTE: The difference of 1/16" could be due to the lack of caffiene I've had this morning.

Though I don't plan to get a Herbert Johnson anytime soon, if at all,
especially since the Peters Brothers is so close, it gives me food for thought. I think the HJ's felt must be more like the Indy Miller
which I have one of. A bit thinner than the PB. Too bad HJ doesn't have someone with Joe's dedication to getting it right. Anyhow, thanks again.
Cheers!
