Survey: Did Your Conroy Lose Its Stripes?

[sreader3]

Maybe I'm "old school," but I would sure like to get back to the good old days of Net 54 (circa 2006-2009), where there was serious T206 research and discovery going on here. In the interest of rekindling that renaissance spirit, I'm offering up a little known tidbit.

Conroy (Fielding) is a pretty tough subject to start with. But an even greater challenge is to find an example where there are no stripes on Wid's hat. To date, all examples that I have seen have stripes except for a few late production copies with the SC350/30 back.

So let's take a two-part survey: (a) What back does your Conroy (Fielding) have and (b) did Wid lose his stripes (or not)?

Well put. Thx.

Scott, I'm one of the esoteric guys, and I've responded to several of your posts like this, and not once gotten a response.

I figured it was part of that deplorable 'T206 faction' thing, and I was on whatever side you weren't. Although, I still haven't figured out what 'side' people thought I was on.

Hi Scott, I have read a bunch of your Net54 posts and enjoyed your insights. Sometimes I log-off after posting (not as an OP) and don't respond. But if I start a thread I always follow-up. Any input on Conroy (Fielding)? Scot

Piedmont 150 with stripes.

All I can add is that the missing stripes is interesting.

I don't own a Conroy yet, so I'm no help with the survey at this time.

Interesting observation.

Final survey update in original post.

Thanks to all who participated.

Sorry to be tardy with this. I have 3 Conroy fielding T206s, all with stripes on cap. Two Sweet Caporal 150s (both Factory 30) and 1 Piedmont 150 (Factory 25).
