Vent hole blems

[charred]

Any guess as to what caused these irregular vent holes on this EZ MT?

I never did ask the previous owner about them.

Did it leave the factory this way, and thus is THE RAREST OF ALL??!!!

I've never seen one like that before. Interesting..

That is rare for sure! For safe keeping send it to me and i will keep it locked up!

Well that's good enough for me!

Ok guys, it's on the block....first $1500 takes it!

It looks like someone used a file to enlarge the holes.  The enlargements are irregular in shape.  If they were perfectly rounded I would say it was a double stamping.

Could be. I wonder why someone would want to do that...I need to check for signs of filing around the lid holes.

+1. Maybe the PO wanted to do a low and slow and filed two vents down to aid in air control.

That's pretty brilliant
