I have a set of Grover Rotomatic's from the late '50's that are stamped "GIBSON" where the Grover name is usually stamped on the back. They came in the original Box that has an orange label marked GIBSON in place of the light green-ish Grover label.
View attachment 6290View attachment 6291 Here you go TW. Sorry it took a bit.
From all the info I have been given for decades about Grover Rotomatics, these are not "50s" era Grovers.
I have been told ALL 50s era Grover Rotomatics should have stell ends, like these:
That's not a date...it's a copyright.:jim
Perfect formula for Norlins, too...
So? If TM1 says he has a set of Grovers from the 50's that say "Gibson" I believe him. I doubt they would come in a box with a copyright date of 1959 otherwise.
So ? ..so, they ain't 50s
Prove it.
TM1's Grover's are no earlier than mid-'60s. TW is correct.
don't hold your breath on that
This is all third hand information. It proves nothing.
A tremendous amount of the info in this Forum area is third hand information.
I'm assuming you don't believe any of that either. :ganz
apparently this guy will only believe what TM1 states as gospel
