Good evening from the UK!
I know many of you will have seen this already (currently on Bill Shea's site) but I thought it might be worth posting the pics here in view of Dave Kane's recent e-bay aquisition. It is a smooth painted core, supposedly a feature of early crosses, but with heavy flaws and an 'unfinished' eye. Possibly a sloppy paint job, or perhaps heavy reaction between core and frame. Do these crosses further indicate an assembly of early cores with late frames, or a return to smooth paint a very late (!) stage?
