Looks ok, looks
Like the flat nose 4, which is a tricky one to identify. I am not
100 but it looks good to me.
Fonts look right size too

Now, if I can get lazerflorida to stop by, maybe he'll break out his fuchsias and other vintage GMT inserts and post some of them up here.
I can see you were not exaggerating on Jazerflorida's collection JP. Just WOW! And you definitely have the fattest font insert I have ever seen! So very cool. Love those too @Stan and @Beaumare!

Thanks for stopping by JP. It was nice for you to break out that collection of inserts for a little air.

Picture quality is not great but this looks like a fake / aftermarket serif insert.

I got the impression the Pepsi was an aftermarket insert in the text you quoted. Regarding your collection. Wow! You even have an insert for an all gold GMT. It must look quite interesting on that black face GMT, and I mean that in a good way! So cool!

You guys are making me drool over here. I recently bought a 16710 and if I keep scrolling through, I may need to lock the credit cards away

That does indeed look great, and what an interesting fade! Looks burgundy. Would love to have that on my root beer! Thanks for posting that pic, and again great collection.

One day, when I'm old enough to post pics, I'll share my 1970 "Pepsi" with the red completely gone.

Why does the red fade the way that it did?
