What a treat seeing 4 of them together! So, the steel lined used a steel pivot pin instead of the brass we typically see in Coricamas? I'm surprised they didn't do all the other brass pins in steel to go with the whole steel theme. Really nice!

For those of you new to collecting, having one steel lined 33cm Coricama in your collection is huge (I don't have one), but having 4! Outstanding - thanks for sharing.

Yes, all the small ear bolsters are from the late 1940's to the very early 1950's.
