Altec 416a.... crinkle finish versus solid green finish?

[gabewg]

Hello, I recently acquired a pair of Altec 416a's... One has a green crinkle finish and one has a solid green matte finish... Does anyone know when Altec started painting one way versus the other... which is earlier?

The seafoam green hammertone finish is earlier, change probably sometime before the mid 60s. Jim
