CUTTER - CIRCLE DISPLAY

The big EXPO show is almost here.   We need to start talkin about the planned "shootout" of  J.H. Cutter fifths.   How many of you are planning on packing some heavy artillery to the show?

Now remember it's not .44s  we're talkin about here... this contest is for 43s.... T43's.  (no A No 1 on reverse).  

We have a couple of renegade gangs of t-43s here in Utah.   That dang Groberg gang is going to be pretty tough to tangle with.   I've got a few good hands,  but they'll probably wilt when the contest gets heated.  My ol' pard Blake has a real ki---- "Johnny Ringo".   It was one of the last circles that I remember being dug over here,  and it is smokin! 

Now, we've already had a couple of these Cutter comparisons over here in years past.   I am under no illusion as to where my best example stacks up.  Doesn't matter!!  I'm bringing them anyway.  Just to see a big group of these in one place.   One thing I know for sure,  our comparisons over here produced an interesting discovery.  There is a variant of this bottle mold that is obvious when you get a few of them lined up.  

BRING YOUR T-43 CIRCLES AND ENJOY THE COCKTAILS AND OR' DOUR..  WHAT EVER.

What say ye?
