Re: Neptune CC
This is NOT one of the first generation Neptunes. Those horns have "Mel Culbertson" engraved inside a laurel leaf design and 4098 engraved just below.

Re: Neptune CC
So did those early batches have the familiar engraving of the face of Neptune over the name, the fancy valve buttons and gold lacquer finish?LJV wrote:The very first of Neptunes I saw (there were only a handful of these) had no model number designation and where hand engraved simply:
The second ones I saw (again, only a small number) were as Ed describes with the laurel leaves and the 4098 model number. Those leaves caused quite a stir...

Neptune"
BTW The B&S website has silver plating as a Neptune option (4098-S) - has anyone ever seen a silver Neptune?

Re: Neptune CC
Yes, I won that auction a few weeks back. The seller has been slow to ship, but it's finally on its way. Seems like there's been a lot of good feedback regarding the Neptunes - hopefully this one is as good as the other rotary models out there. . .
