Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) i must say that i'm fairly pleased with this example. it's an interesting piece, and i haven't noticed this type before. however, i'd like your opinions, guys. the obverse frame still has a great deal of the original frosting and laquering (which has yellowed with age), and the flat, non-vaulted magnetic core is pretty interesting in that it's pebbled--perhaps cast?

Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 i will post 9 pics of dubious quality but hopefully you can get a general idea here's the reverse: large disc, with the retaining nut permanently applied to the disc. very awkward to remove or screw the disc to the cross--no grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) a view of the core from an angle; core was quite rusty along the edges of the frame--sorry for the q-tip threads everywhere Edited March 27, 2010 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) view of the seam on the frame. notice the profile of the backing disc...it looks crooked, but everything is perfectly symmetrical.

Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 other side of disc. as i mentioned before, the disc is comprised of two separate pieces that have been joined together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 another view of core i'd welcome some input on this one; it's a strange one, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) oh, and i just noticed one more thing: the inside of the disc ALSO has vestiges of the original protective laquer... just like a mint screwback k.m.s.t. example in my collection Edited March 27, 2010 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 hmmm...no comments? i thought this cross would have surely generated a bit of discussion, either positive or negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Not easy....I like it,too!I haven't seen this kind of screw before.The core pictures could be a bitbetter but it looks abit like one of these? Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 i will spend some time to take better pics of the core sometime today. as you can tell, it's rather difficult to for me capture the core due to the graininess of the surface. plus, i'm rather inept with my ancient camera. micha: the 1914, w, and crown on my example seem to be more pronounced than your specimen.
