It says is has pins on the back for mounting. I didn't think you could buy these. Do you think it came off of a instrument that was destroyed?

Should I bid on it?

And if it's '70s, then it's gotta be late '70s - my '75 doesn't look anything like that. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 770 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 9:25 pm:    I guess that's an effort to discourage pinning it on a ferndandes or something else. gtrguy Advanced Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 238 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 11:13 am:    I think the earlier seventies they were hand cut silver, which was a pain to do, and then Alembic found a jewelers (sp?) company to then cast them in the later seventies, if I remember right. mario_farufyno Intermediate Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 173 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 2:20 pm:    Don't know if it is really from 70's... This one is exact like mine 97 Rogue's peghead Logo (and I'm sure it isn't silver or anything fancy, by the way). mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6272 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 4:29 pm:    Once the logos started to be cast, they were all essentially the same - in fact, the same guy has always made them (plus he makes the cast names on the rack equipment too). The seller has graciously agreed to return the logo to me so it can't wind up on the wrong thing. What a sweetie! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8469 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 5:39 pm:    That's good to hear Mica! longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 331 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 10:03 am:    Anybody interested in a Sterling Silver Pendant? the_mule Senior Member Username: the_mule Post Number: 738 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 10:23 am:    Wow, hell of a price! Wilfred jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2357 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, August 03, 2009 - 11:33 am:    "Anybody inerested" I'd be interested in a factory produced pedant in half size. maybe we should prevail upon Mica to develop a sideline in jewellery.

I usually proof read all my posts before clicking submit ;-( graeme BTW, there's a slim chance I'll be doing the C2C with my brother sometime. If I do I'll expect coffee and scones at the finish line ;-) grateful Advanced Member Username: grateful Post Number: 305 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 04, 2009 - 2:17 am:    Let me know if you do the C2C and I'll be there waiting.
