Original. The reproductions have a 6" non-threaded base.

Original.

From the PCM Web Site:
"Standard Crowns, if real, have seven inch bases and there is no exception to that rule. Some have threaded bases; the older ones do not. But with or without a screw base, they will measure seven inches. Note - any crown with the screw threading that has no base will measure less than seven inches, about 5.75 or so. Nonetheless, this should be a real crown - it’s just missing the base. The only crowns that can have a base without a threading are any of the five different raised letters or etched crowns, early white, red or blue crowns. Any green crowns, gold crowns or gray crowns will have threaded bases and there is no exception to that rule either. Be careful on the repainted crowns in that they are only worth about $350."

'nuff said.

Later . . .

Jim
