EARLY in my Unimat collecting days, I read that the "Sears Roebuck" Unimats and accessories were, for some period of time, shipped in the Black Crackle finish. ?That said, "mixed" sets may or may not had some pieces purchased from Sears and other pieces purchased from other dealers. ?Hobby Shops, Edmund Scientific, and least Sears, sold the Unimat product line in the various shades of Hammered Green. ?The Crackle and Hammered finishes are quite different. ?At one time, In my old web site, I had different factory finishes photographed. ?I'm committed to other projects right now, but I'll try to resurrect those photos and post them here.
