It does look to be an Epic; however, it looks to me more like Lacewood than Coco Bolo in the pictures.

Dave:

You need to read more carefully. The seller doesn't claim it is cocobolo. Here is the actual description form the auction. Read it carefully:

"Beautifoul Koko Bolo six tring Alembic"

So, it has something to do with a smelly clown from Max Fleischer 30's cartoons and 6 trings, which I believe are from middle earth - "The Lord of the Trings"!

I believe it was Sgt. Bilko Braggins, unforgettably played by Phil Silvers.

Beautifoul

So attractive, yet so repulsive.
