DESCRIPTION: (SEE RULER IN PICTURES FOR DIMENSIONS. ALWAYS ENLARGE EACH PHOTO FOR THE BEST DESCRIPTION.)
THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO UNUSUAL SQUEEZE STYLE BLEEDERS. THIS ONE IS BASICALLY UNMARKED... NO MAKERS NAME AT LEAST. THERE IS AN "XXIII" UNDER THE STEEL LOOP ON THE VERY BACK OF THE INSIDE PIECE OF BRASS.  THE METAL SPRING HAS DARKENED WITH AGE. THE BRASS HAS A NICE USED PATINA. THERE IS NO REASON IT WILL NOT WORK, BUT THE FLAT SPRING IS VERY TIGHT AND I DID NOT SQUEEZE IT INTO A LOCKED POSITION.  SOME AGE AND USAGE WEAR, BUT OVERALL A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS UNUSUAL FORM!!
*PLEASE USE THE PHOTOS AS YOUR PRIMARY DESCRIPTION!! BE SURE TO ENLARGE EACH ONE FOR THE BEST RESULTS!
