GGTS Question

[zuTma]

And mine 918 is nickel too...

 

[imeothanasis]

I just received 904 and 995 and they both are aluminum.

are you sure ripple?

 

[silentt]

Yes ripple post pictures with all your GGTS's in a row in order

 

[imeothanasis]

I am sure that things are exactly like this:

1-458 aluminium
459-879 (to my friend edition), aluminium
880-1081 nickel
1082-1484 nickel

0-298 steel

 

[RippleInStillWater]

#769 - 60g
#904 and #965 - 65g
#1365 - 95g

They are awful shiny -- but they are uncirculated, too!!!

 

[RippleInStillWater]

So is there any explanation of the weight difference, Imeo, or should I (sigh) post a picture?

 

[imeothanasis]

Yes ripple. The difference is on the materials. Some batches have brass instead of aluminium cap under the lid and other batch has brass caps instead of aluminium. If you messure every piece in GGTS you will understand what is going on. Also axis on the front cap on previous models are brass, next batches are aluminium.

I guess its about time for me to post a family pic to show of the collection, maybe someone can tell if they are nickel .......I was told when I bought 904 and 995 that they were Al.

 

[silentt]

Can't wait to see a picture

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Well, I suppose I will post a pic soon -- but I still am semi-befuddled on what I actually own fwiw. Are 880-1081 nickel plated aluminum!??!?! As Vinny Barbarino used to say, 'I'm so confused'......

How's that for a 35 year old pop culture reference?!?!?!?

 

[CarolCrocbag]

Had fun finding out who Vinny Barbarino is/was and watching some clips. Can't believe I've never heard of him or the show before.

I'd still rather have bad 70's laughtrack sitcoms than any lame-... reality TV, at least there was writing!!!

I have to be excused from posting today.

880-1081 nickel
1082-1484 nickel

0-298 steel

Archiving so I can find it later. I never could keep up with when th alum stopped and the nickel started

I had no idea those were nickel-plated aluminum, I probably wouldn't have bought them then.......

 

[silentt]

Are you sure they are nickel? I'd love to see a picture if you could of all the different GGTS's.

That indeed is great news. I patiently await the next SS GGTS, which will be the best since it will have your name on it.
