I have a couple of 45's marked "Pacific"...never seen them anywhere before....the castings are so-so, and the edges haven't been milled. Best, Jason Attachments:

That design is familiar. More correctly, the font and numbering on that three-spoke plate are familiar.

Never heard of Pacific I don't believe (off the top of my head at least)...

Ya, it does share some similarities to other foundries, although a fun find, they don't have that quality smooth edge my Ben plates and Ivanko's have...the
castings are a little rougher than I'd like. They media blasted quite cleanly, and took pain well...I then painted the letters white with a foam brush.
If I find vintage iron with a nice patina, they stay that way, these were quite rusty, but still sound.

Well, here's an update on the Pacifics...they aren't rare...I went to a commercial seller of refurb'd / used stuff, and he had dozens of them...some castings were better than others, but none were that good. Attachments:
