Odd Holley G top

Post by Mark Gregush » Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:15 pm

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

I think it's just the way the exposed part oxidized...

I agree with Steve, it is cast bronze

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