Plaintiff herein contends that said articles should properly have been classified as machines and parts thereof, not specially provided for, in paragraph 372 of said act, as modified by the sixth protocol, supra, for which duty at the rate of liy2 per centum ad valorem is provided.
By stipulation of the parties hereto it has been agreed as follows:

Zeikel on the invoice covered by the above-named protest, which were assessed with duty at 19% ad valorem under Paragraph 397, Tariff Act of 1930 as modified, T.D. 54108, consist of hand operated air pumps the same in all material respects as the merchandise which was the subject of decision in the case of Victoria Distributors, Inc. v. United States, C.D. 2639, and therein held classifiable as other machines, finished or unfinished, not specially provided for, under Paragraph 372 of the same act, with duty at the modified rate of 1114% ad valorem.
It is further stipulated and agreed that the record in the case of Victoria Distributors, Inc. v. United States, C.D. 2639, be incorporated in the record in this case, and that the protest be submitted on this stipulation.
