"composition of the clay used made the difference between what Burt made for Christy and Jones and the current dull hats and canes that Paul Son manufactures these days'

If I remember right the CJ shiney H&C's were made from polished dies. I think thats what Blanchard said.

After PS bought the CJ molds they sold more CJ shinney H&C's than CJ ever thought about selling.
PS still makes a shinny H&C today.
