Just took these off that 84 kuwi supernova I got last year.. Can't believe how mint they are..think the bird shit helped preserve them..
They have made in the USA on the outside of the flange.
Are new ones any different.. Or are the new ones actually NOS?

They are what people refer to as 'bubble font',
earlier than the latest version of the reissue A'me rounds which has a square font.

As Damo and Steve already said ,,,,Bubble font is the indication of genuine 80's A'me grips :daumenhoch:
Modern repop Rounds and Tri's they make now ,are made from the later font moulds they used in the later 90's
But aren't the Modern day A'me Cam repops bubble font logo too as the originals ,,,,,, because they're made from the moulds from the early 80's ::)

yes and the minis

Not quite - mini's still use bubble font but Cams use a different font altogether...

it's more of a lower case bubble font, if that makes sense?

Sorry with the Cams it's a bubble font,,,,, but lower case , as you've correctly pointed out :daumenhoch:
What I was saying was :) , the repop are indistinguishable from the original because they use the original 80's moulds :) unlike the Tri's and Rounds
Steve's OG 80's in the For sale section :)
