Odd Holley G top
Pictures might be a little blurry but has anyone else seen this? Looks to be two different brasses, red on top and yellow on the bottom. It might be hard to see put if you look close you can see the separation line on the lip that fit into the body.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

I believe they are bronze, not brass. I haven't noticed the separation before, but I may have seen it without noticing.
The inevitable often happens.

Re: Odd Holley G top
I think it's just the way the exposed part oxidized...

Re: Odd Holley G top
I agree with Steve, it is cast bronze

Yes it could be oxidized from something that bead blasting will not take off.
