Hello.
I’m looking for good photos of very early Ilyy throws for the article I’m writing as part of the sniffy focus on Ilyy. If you have any and would like to share, please post them here. I’ll credit you as photographer in the article of course.
Thanks.

Never mind and thanks. Andre sent me a bunch of pics.
So I’m covered. If you do have cool photos though I’m still up for seeing / using them.

This is a 1/10 (12?) engraved OG Mary. There is a Wasabi counterpart with very cool engravings as well. I’ve had no luck finding one though.

Cool. Thanks.
The engraving, did Ilyy do it on the whole run? Or was it after purchase?

It wasn’t the whole run, it was 10 or 12. I can’t remember exactly. The finish is slightly different as well. Frank told me that they had to use a somewhat smoother finish for the engraving to work properly.
