Tom Y Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think this qualifies. It's unmarked, but has all the earmarks of a MEH. I guess they were ashamed to admit to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Murphy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 You have to understand. There are two types of ugly. Just plain ugly like this one with a shattered core. It is now in 5 pieces and rattles around in the frame. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Murphy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) Tom, You need a new prescription. That MEH is marked. I can see it on the photo. Tony, that first one you posted has more pock marks than the local zit freak. Was it dug? I am willing to bet the second one has a stamped core, that high relief crown is a dead giveaway. No idea on maker though. Greg, that safety pin definitely fits the bill. OK, you have one, but you know you are the princess type. Especially if that second one is your idea of ugly. Puleese. If this were a competition I think I would wib hands down for that brass one. It doesn't get more pitifull than that.
