cobraman Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Not sure you would consider this a pressed steel item or not . Anyway , I came across this on the bay . It is a bit crude but as I have never seen one before it was a good item for my Cobra collection .
Gramps46 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Now that is interesting Ray. Thanks for sharing it with us.
keyser Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Never saw one before. A bit crude for Asia manufactury. Eastern bloc? What’s on base plate?
cobraman Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Thanks. The base plate does not have any markings.
swede70 Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Interesting and certainly I've never seen an example. Wish I could help in it's identification, neat score all the same. Thanks for sharing... Mike K./Swede70
lucky 130 Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 You can find strange Cobras. please keep it up, and I'll keep enjoying your searches.
cobraman Posted April 6, 2021 Author Posted April 6, 2021 Thanks guys. I wish the seller would have known something about it.
bisc63 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Interesting piece. I painted a similar 56 Chevy that my uncle picked up at a flea market, seller said it was hand made by a guy in Cuba, where he first purchased it as a souvenir. The construction technique is very much the same, especially notable is the way he solders strips of metal rod to define the edges of moldings and stripes, as if he were drawing with steel rod.
Snake45 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Different and therefore interesting and cool! Are you planning to do anything with it, or leave it just as you found it?
cobraman Posted April 12, 2021 Author Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks men. Very crude but I love when I find a Cobra that I don't have in my collection.
