so i just found these two beautys on CL and i am meeting with the guy to get them today.

I just was wondering if anyone could tell if they where authentic not like burke or something.

I wanted to turn them into some Killer Speaker stands

I am pretty sure they are real but im sure someone else will know the fact.

heres some pics thanks!

Just curious, where did you see that BR50 meant early production? I believe that the early production bases have Alcoa embossed underneath and do not have the three flat prongs.
