lvrr325 OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 18 Thank you received: 1	Just curious how accurate these are; done, they look nice, I lucked into a finished, nicely painted Pacific a couple years ago and glombed onto it. I also have about half of an Atlantic. They're cast metal and brass construction and about the newest catalog references I can find are around 1953. Could post some photos if need be. I've flipped a couple of unfinished ones over the years.

The articles always seem to have a "drawing" of them.... I was starting to wonder if it as a myth.... I would for one would dig seeing the real deal.
