Beau Newman Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This one just showed up. It has spikes added to the reverse to prevent the cross from turning when worn. This appears to be a custom job and not a regular production feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 any faint markings on the spinner, such as 'victoria drgm'? sometimes a magnifying glass is needed and sometimes only a few letters can be discernable it looks like a long time ago someone cleaned the heck out of it, touched up the core, and gave it a coating of some type of protective lacquer that has since yellowed do the frames show signs of separation and having been neatly resoldered? strong chance of that happening when the spikes were applied i like it!

Beau Newman Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 No marks anywhere on it. The spinner is made from a thin brass plate that was originally silvered but, only traces of the plating remain on the back side. There is no noticeable separation to the frame. The beading on the front shows a decent amount of wear so, I wouldn't be surprised if this hadn't seen some well done refinishing at some time although, there is no sign of rust pitting under the paint.

VtwinVince Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Looks like an interwar piece that has been modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
