Back on some Butterfly retrospective. Today’s is this 2016 Reproduction Butterfly compared to a couple of the originals from the early sixties. The reproductions are three piece instead of one piece, so this one had to be re-glued at one point and its still holding together. Also notice its a bit smaller and rounder, more like the AL Butterflies with C bearings, there are no silver sparkles, the logo is bigger and centered, and there is also modern ARGHH manufacturing 5 letter stamp like you see on all contemporary Duncans these days. Still a good little 0A player in my book and can be still be found in dead stock in a few different colors.
