CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 10:34 pm I came across this guy earlier today, in the back of a drawer, in the kitchen of a really old house! First thing that caught my attention was the lack of detail on the front, no telling how long its been in this drawer, not in circulation, but still looked pretty worn. Then I flipped it over, where detail is a lil better, til you look at the initials! But then I noticed the doubling on the south side of several letters in AMERICA, under the steps, and a cpl other places! I haven't tried looking it up yet, thought I'd post a cpl pics, see what yall think? At first I said machine, but what do I know! Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 07:57 am I couldn't even see the designer initials at first, but when held at the right angle, much easier to make out, but does over polishing cause that too? Report this Post to the Staff
