Chris Boonzaier Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Has anyone seen one to beat this ? core is 2 thin metal staped sheets... when you tap if with a fingernail its sounds like you are banging empty tin cans together... this has to be the ugliest out there.... I dont mean a once nice cross in bad condition... this was ugly the day it was produced.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 With a topic opening like... "Ugly and cheap...." I thought this was going to be your biography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 What do you expect from a TR era produced cross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 You think TR or 20s-30s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Mid to late 30s at least imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streptile Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I agree. Also came with swastika core in a Schinkel version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Here is another ugly one, probably 1930s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 That core looks like a cast core. That would conceivably make it an early one, like wartime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 It is indeed a cast one, terrible details, and a frame so thin you can cut yourself on it. The frame stamping is pretty terrible as well. No stamp on the ring... I would be curious if anyone has a terrible one WITH a stamped ring?
