Anyone know the history of these stems? I bought one locally thinking it was the 90-190 faceplatter, after looking at i realized its the fillet brazed ones. Coudnt find much info on them. Any knowledge on these would be great, thank you!

They were offered with the old tig welded versions, consider them the premium version, due to the more labor intensive (and beautiful) fillet brazed construction. Functionally the same as the (not very) old tig faceplaters. They differ from the 90-190 as they have a more upright angle and a longer quill. Significant difference in the ability to get the bars up high. 

If you don't like yours, I'd consider purchasing it depending on what length it is. :)

Made for Riv for a while, got too spendy so they switched to TIG

Haha will do, I believe it’s a 100 or 110? Did they come in the same lengths as the current line ups?
