Juncker EK2 question, ring size?

[Dansson]

Hello,

I have aquired some Junckers during the time when I have collected, and by looking at some of them I noticed that they have different ring size.

The one with glossy paint is a Juncker with W&L core and the other one with Juncker core.

What could the ring size depend on?

Best regards,
Daniel

Perhaps something to do with where they were manufactured?

I think is yes, although not proven, but was connection the wto manufacturer between

When we see a Juncker with W&L core, we maybe should start to compare the ring with other Juncker or maybe W&L rings too?

Best regards,

Ring sizes do vary with Juncker EK2s and other makers . Have 3 sizes here - as shown - I might have a large ring also .
Could be to save material or a smaller ring for mounting on a metal bar . As can be seen .... 2 different size rings with brass brazing .
2 looks like a thin brass foil wrapped around and then melted on ...and as 3 may indicate a 'drip' of brass to connect the ends only with no over spill .

Something of interest is that there are at least 2 different lug shapes as well .

Interesting!
I understand that the ring size might vary within the maker as frames and cores do, but is it a possible theory that Junckers with W&L core have bigger/different size than other Junckers with normal cores? That the ring size could in some way be associated with W&L assembled Juncker?

Best regards,

Of my three Juncker Ek2, All have differing ring sizes with the Non magnetic type having the smallest ring of them all.
