Who Made Stars? A Little Evidence.

I found the Star on the far right about 5 years ago. Notice the bizarre thing going on at the top of the pinhole. It is the result of a broken mandrel. Later I found the Sterling 102 made with the very same mandrel, and then later I found a Harloe 102 just like them! Since, I found a second Star with this deformity. This "problem" could not have gone on too long before the mandrel broke completely and no longer worked, so the time frame of this mandrel being in operation this way is probably pretty short. When I found the first one, I thought it had to be one of a kind!
