HUTCH STEM

I've scored this Hutch stem which is 100% original and in superb condition
Unlike my other stem, this one has knurling on the quill ... does this indicate a year of manufacture or even the country of origin perhaps
I know very little about the history of Hutch ... any info would be much appreciated

Are both of yours the freestyle versions ? They did a race one too...., without the mod potts holes...

Both my stems are the freestyle type with potts ... they're identical apart from the knurling

The later ones were pretty awful from what I recall: in the early nineties you could get 'em new for around 15 quid and the top often came loose on the shaft after a while. Had a couple then gave up on 'em.
Nice score though, everyone wants Hutch stems nowadays

The snide ones were the deep H ones not the western ones

Well, this one i actually bought back in 1983 with my own hard earned paper round money.... just rescued from me moms house when she moved last month. Been in a bin liner in the garage for years...
No knurling and its got deep H rather than your lined one.. also a recessed ring around shaft in the aluminium under stem.
I'd say yours was a the Freestyle model "HutchINS" era one,which makes it late 80's from what i'm lead to believe.
