Topic: Who made this?

Message: Posted by: HenrikHyldig (Mar 3, 2012 4:04pm) Hi you all. I got this flipper (used) today, but I don't know who made it. the guy I got it from said it was Tango, but I am not sure. I have 3 Tango flippers, but non of them looks like this. All my Tango flippers have a line cut; this is curved. Also all my Tango coins has a smooth back on the flipping part. This is a little milled down (not enough for a magnet I think) and the groove for the band is also deeper and more wide than my others. The coin is a 2007 US half dollar. I hope you can help me find out who made it, so my curiosity can be satisfied. Henrik

Also when closed the cut is much more visible than the others. By the way who ever made it, it works like a charm. And it looks nice in my collection, I am just curious. Henrik
