Love it! It will nicely compliment the chunky JM bar you got a few weeks ago.

Great addition. I’ve always admired these.

Nice bar, interesting flow line on the back.... Cheers, RickO

asheland

Thanks everybody. Indeed the flow lines on the back are pretty extreme! Aside from some scratching on the front and back, it's pretty much original and left alone. I'm happy to add this one to the collection.

My friend Michael, (Aethelred) got this in his shop on Saturday and send me a picture, I was there and purchased it within an hour of him getting it!

I'll add a picture of this next to my other one from June a little later today.

Smudge

I like it a lot. Any idea when it was made?

asheland

@Smudge I believe the 1960's to the 1970's, by the early 80's they were making the pressed bars. The larger sized poured bars were made longer.

Smudge

Ok, thanks.

asheland

No problem!

NVU

Nice addition @asheland. Are doing the 10 oz JM type set?
On a side note, I’ve seen this type (stamp on flat side) in 10 oz and 20 oz but never the 5 oz though, would love to see it one day....

asheland

@NVU I’m kind of unofficially doing a type set. I don’t expect to find them all, but will actively buy them when they cross my path. Same with the Engelhard’s...

Here are the two together:
@Downtown1974 check them out, they are different molds and both sizes of the JM stamp!

Man, I really like those! I may have to get one for my stack. Thanks for sharing!

Aethelred

They look happy together!

I need the 5 oz next...
