Cool picture before it was broken up and sold off individually.  I got a couple of them, but they are spread to the wind now.

I wish.  I think I own the Britten and tag, Lead Hotchkiss case shot and tag, marked CS ball fuse adapter that is also in his book, one of the Archer sliders and a few others of his I am not sure are on here, the rarest of which is this one thats also in M&M

Mike,
   Is that a C.S. Water Cap? Also, is that hand written lettering Vs. stamping?
Regards,
John

It is a paper fuse adapter, but clearly made from the same mold as the CS watercaps.  There are no internal threads for a watercap insert.

The lettering is Mac Mason's handwriting.

  Nice to know where that one lives nowadays (and the others you mentioned), Mike.  Congrats!
