Impressively Nice!  Tell us the story.  When did you get them? How? Who? Most importantly to some...how much or did you get a nice buy?   Details please!

Thanks,

PD

Hi Bob,

thanx again for sharing with us!! I see what you mean about the molds. perhaps the casting to make the mold was identical with just the " plate " with the embossing being switched.  Do all the Greely's have the same number of rings above and below the embossing?? anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it...........

sweet bots

Jim

thanks everyone and like you said buzz that is what i was thinking they all have the same number of rings 2 of them the embossing matches with just the adding of the word greeleys going up each side and the greeleys letters cut into the bourbon whiskey words ill take a close up of that and post it
