Has anyone seen one of these before or know anything about them? I picked up one from Marc at Guitars N Jazz but cont find any info on them.

Haha, just move the decimal point over 2 spots.

Dmgolf66,
These picks are from John's shop - and not for sale on a retail market. I always grab a few when I visit John - they are fabulous and really great for acoustic Archtop's.

As close as I will get to owning anything from Mr. Monteleone.
I just did some more searching and it looks like someone put one up on Reverb years ago and said they acquired it from Mandolin Brothers back in the day

I suppose he also sells t-shirts via FB and Instagram nowadays, just like about every known builder and player I follow on there?

Boy, that is a plague. Just terrible.

Tell me about it. It was however genuinely the 1st thing that came to mind when I saw the post.

(I mean, a true Monteleone pick must be made from sawdust, no? )

Mandolin pick as mentioned. My wife plays mandolin and has a "Dawg" pick (David Grisman) which sounds very nice on archtop guitar. Probably made by D'Andrea or Dunlop.

So, there is a waiting list?
