Thanks to the kindness of forum member "Dixie", this chubby little beauty will be heading my way later this week. I'm so thrilled, I had to share it now.
A chubby, pre-Republic 999 Peterson has been on my list for a long time. I've had newer, slimmer 999's but the chubby style has eluded me. Dixie thought this would make a good addition to my Rhodesian collection and he is right.
I don't know if it has hallmark dates, but the COM is definitely pre 1946.
It needs a little work,but I think preserving the patina will be paramount.
I'll post some follow-up pix later.
Thanks Dixie!
