Was the shape called 'dinky' at the factory pre-'86?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, he said he was looking for "used/vintage" Dinkys "where the quality was high". And asked what years should he stay away from (poor quality-wise).

Then you "mistookenly" ( [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] ) told him that Dinkys didn't exist pre-86.

I don't get how you interpret "vintage" and "high quality" as necessarily meaning he was looking for something on the cheap. ...But - who knows - maybe he did mean that? Even if he did, there's always the rare cheapo pawn shop Charvel find.

I simply didn't want a newbie to stumble on a vintage Charvel Dinky on the cheap and mistakely think "it must be a fake, those JCF guys said they didn't exist back then".

Yeah I gotta give up MAJOR kudos to Tracy, and anyone else that gives up the time to do the research, work, spend the $, and put it all out there for their love and pride of the products, and for the benefit of those looking for info.
