Usually gator checks say, "gator gas checks". If you bought those from Sage's, they are most likely sage's store brand. I don't know if they make them in house, but I love sage's checks. Gator is fine too, but is more money for the same thing.
A quick email over to (Jim?) at Sage’s and he could tell you, for sure.
Gators are made in Louisiana and bulk shipped to vendors. It really depends how the vendor repackages them to sell them to you.

Just look at the side of the check. Gator checks have a very fine indent around the side. I tried to photograph it once, but was unable as it is so subtle.

Do you think the supplier might be :
Bullet Swaging Supply Inc.
206 River Oaks Drive
West Monroe , Louisiana 71291
I got in on a group buy a few years ago , when I realized what a deal the group buy checks were , I went back and doubled my order ... gas checks used to be cheap but had gotten pricey .
I assumed these checks might be aluminum ... they were 1970 prices , but they arrived , first rate checks all copper and all the packages marked with the above label ... Bullet Swaging & Supply inc .
I found their website , www.bulletswagingsupply.com , went there ,it says site is under construction and couldn't find any gas checks ... just boolit swaging supplies ... I'm not shure where the group buy gas checks came from but all my packages are maked with their name and address ?
I was thinking about placing another order with them ... just in case ... don't want to run out of checks .

Yes.
His name is Larry Blackmon.
I generally order from Sages ...or NOE (if I happen to be ordering a mold)
I don't know what the current state of affairs is, for ordering directly from Larry? But I bet there is a longer than usual wait, since Sages and NOE are out of some flavors.

Check out the sticky
I received 7,000 gas checks ordered directly from Larry last week.
How did you place the order ? Website under construction and shows no gas checks for sale .
I went to www.bulletswagingsupply.com
I might be doing something wrong ... like over looking the gas check area ?
I wanted to get more checks like the group buy checks ... they fit and crimped on all my boolits so very nicely ... Not in any hurry so don't mind order and wait .
