Hey there everybody......

So.....early on in my time here, I was informed (by Mikey777) that my Dixie (with Battleship lugs) was 72-74. Well, since then, I have been passing on the info all over this site that Pearl used those lugs between 72-74. However, I have also read otherwise on this site, dating them into the 60s.

They did not appear in the 68 catalog, but the 69 Pearl catalog shows Battleship lugs, so were they used by Pearl starting in 69....and if so, did they also use them on their stencils starting on 69, or perhaps not on the stencils until 72????

I don't want to mis-inform people on here (or anywhere else) about those lugs, and date kits wrong.

Then when we are done with this, can we please also figure out what year they stopped using them?

Thanks so much!

John
