Don't see these every day - plumb liberty

[sywagon]

Remarkable quality too - I only ever see things that look like this in drawings in catalogs and it gets hard to imagine that that is how they actually came. But there it is. If you search and have $725 burning a hole in your pocket that is.

Yeah I've seen that!
I actually have a Plumb Liberty Jersey with the original handle and all

Beautiful.

And out of my budget.

They also have a black raven at auction that has the sticker and has never struck wood. It has been beaten to crap though on the poll so much that the eye folded.

:crushed:

I don't think that's a sticker...it's a rubbing of the stamp.

Ah - that is a dirty trick IMO. The guy is asking way more than it would be worth even if it weren't completely ruined too.

That thing has been at auction for months and of course nobody will touch it. Might as well send it off to the recyclers.

Would be a cool piece to put in a frame and hang on the wall...for about $25.

He doesn't claim it's original, nor does he claim that it's "never touched wood"--at least not that I could see. From the listing:

Graphic is rubbed sticker which can be removed with astringent.

What do you mean "the stamp"? Is that logo stamped?

It is on the Black Raven.

It is on the Black Raven.

Yes. Did they usually stamp that kind of markings, with a die?

 

[Square_peg]

Yes. Stamped with a die.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Yeah. They used to go all-out on crazy stamps like that back when the market was more competitive and demand much much higher. It would be uneconomical today.
