dgb, how EXTREMELY observant of you...I am blown away...Until today, you are the only other researcher I have ever known of to even know of Allenders existence (except for advanced collector Mark Accurso). I have suspected for years that Emil Flues apprenticed under Allender, but I have no evidence other than circumstantial. Other than Allenders patent and some Wilkes Barre data, I have found very little on Heny Allender, so please say if you know anything about Henry.
