Didnt Innova make the grid pattern on older discs as well?? I just picked up 3 of them that I dont think I am actually going to use. Just wondering if these are $5 discs or are they collectors??? How can I tell? The bottom has the patent number.

[Innova] How can you tell the difference between an old and a new AVIAR ??

Older Innova Aviars say San Marino on the bottom, newer ones have WWW tooling.
Oh and yes, Innova has used the grid pattern "Classic" Aviar stamp for quite awhile now.

the old school grids should be beaded too ... some of them are brick hard and some lil softer

the old aviars have more than one ring on the bottom, there can be older aviars with beads (especially big beads); just browse around online and you can find tons of info on different molds and years that they were molded

I don't think you can really tell based on rings either.
My first Classic was old(er) and a single, larger ring. Not sure whether it was a SB or no bead as it was well used when I found it. The one I replaced it with when it cracked (stupid winter) was a no bead SM double ring (the outer ring about the same diameter as my first Classic's single). I'm not sure how long it had sat around the store so I can't gauge its age. I chose to pick up two backups to avoid losing my putter mid-round again (BBs that a friend picked up for me not knowing mine was beadless) that are also double ring SMs. The BBs I know are four years old max. Aviars are a lot older than that.

theres also bb grids too. . basically a way to tell is if the hotstamp is really deep, san marino tooling, or brick hard.
