UNKNOWN PITON # 17 - No markings on the piton. I believe it was made in Europe. Very nice piton. Metal feels like stainless steel or special metal mix.

Possible 1930s Bill House piton

UNKNOWN PITON # 19 - No manufacturer marks on the piton. The ring looks like possibly stainless steel so this piton may be a early 1960s Doug Black angle. But it is not welded, and most Doug Black pitons are. Has the past owners initials "COLE."
