Just inhereted some old sovs and wondered if they were anything special or just some nice sovs over 100 years old.  I have plenty of Sovs but I've been buying them new since 2015 these are the first ones with any kind of history to them I've owned.

Dates are 2x 1895, an 1893 and an 1890.

That's my failing eyesight for you, thanks.

An 1890 old head would be an extremely rare mule error, or an anachronistic fake.

Should have gone to Specsavers!
