most beautiful cutterhead ever!

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

another question ,does anyone know what the hell this is? its listed on ebay,with no info.
im kinda curious,cuz im cutterhead shopping,and this one i can afford!
I thought my Astatic MI 41 that came with my Rek o kut was the ugliest cutterhead ever,but now im not so sure, but if it functions and sounded decent then i wouldnt care about the looks,function before form!

could it be that the previous user/owner dipped it in tar for damping experiments?
the more i look at it ,reminds me of the passenger seat cushion from an old Vespa!
