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.

I just purchased an Eisenhower flipper from a private party, claimed to be a Tango and came in a Tango sleeve; looks JUST LIKE what you have.

Here are my 2 flippers side by side. The gold one is smoother and better cut than the other one, that's why I think it is not a Tango. 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.

Looks like it could be an older Tango.
