Gold crown 2 question

[gmansbu]

I'm in the market for a gold crown & I stumbled upon this one. A couple questions I had...

1. Is it actually a Gold Crown 2?
2. Is it slate? brunstone? etc.
3. The middle piece of slate is chipped on the corner (which can be seen in the second pic). The seller claims the chipped portion is under the rail once installed so it doesn't affect play. Is this the case or do you think it will affect play?

Thanks in advance & sorry for the crappy pics.

Thats a GCI, GCII's had bronze colored feet I think and bronze trim around ball box.
Judging by the color in the picture (if its accurate) that looks like slate.

Interesting. Seller claims the coated ball returns is what made it a gc2.

I concur, GC1. The later (mid 60s to early 70s) GC1's had a lot of updates prior to the GCII.

Rails will cover that damage in slate.

Lots of uneducated folks out there. You've got a Gold Crown I.

My GCI has coated ball returns and it is most definitely an all original GCI so that is not true.
