No unfortunately the SFO information has been inconsistent in the past production totals...if they were Tidioute or Northfield. So I don't have all that information available...only that they were SFOs. I may go back in at some point and try to add that information later.Nice work Darren. I take a keen interest in the production records, last year was an interminable wait for the totals.
Are you able to show the SFO totals as part of the Tidioute/Northfield totals?
You are all very welcome it is my pleasure to share this.Thank you for your time in doing this. Very informative & interesting. Wow, total production has doubled in the last five years.
Yes sir I can pretty much slice it up however you want. Anything in particular you want to know?Great information Darren! Do you have patterns by material type entered that could be queried?
I would be interested in a break down of dead skunk acrylic by patterns, years, and production numbers. Thanks!Yes sir I can pretty much slice it up however you want. Anything in particular you want to know?
Nice! Thanks Darren, I started to sort this data by hand one evening.... must have been bored, but never got completely through the years. I've picked up two of the patterns, but based on the overall low production numbers finding more may be a bit of a challenge.
Interesting info Black Mamba, I didn't realize that about Northfields and the use of acrylics. Good stuff, are those yours?Matt and Darren, the first Dead Skunk was on the 2007 Northfield #53 Cuban, and was interesting for a couple reasons. One, there are very few Northfields in acrylic, and two, it was much more black originally. The newer ones have a lot more red in them.
