<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 182456, member: 7033&quot;]<b>Photos of burst collar...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic of one of the nine decent examples of the new pig knob design that were struck before the collar burst... along with a photo of the burst collar and the pig that broke it. Note that the one from the broken collar shows a doubled rim where they metal flowed out beyond the rim after the burst!&nbsp; On the good example, the recessed ring in the center of the back is the &quot;seat&quot; for soldering the knob standoff in place. After the copper standoff is soldered on the entire thing is tumbled and antiqued and baked to give is a deep brown toning, then hand-rubbed to bring up the bright copper color on the highlights. The collar fragment that tried to get me was the one at the bottom. The triangular one at top is the one that exited the press to break the light.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
