Since Hang10tiki's images of his TV shell and my images of my Saxon 78 shell were so similar, I thought it'd be fun to play "Dr. Max Bergman" (CSI investigator from the new Hawaii 50 series) and do a bit of comparison between them....

First the bottom images side by side. I've outlined the similaries:

There are quite a few creases in both that are similar.

...and the tops:

The opening of the TV bowl in noticably larger than the saxon...obviously carved out larger after casting, but the dimples inside are also similar.

Ahem...... the bowls share similar molds.

I just thought I'd throw this into the mix. I've got a white on the outside pink on the inside conch bowl. Mine is probably a hobbyist bowl.
