Steiner Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 One more question please. Is there anything that denotes what era these are from?regardsSteiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 What is it made out of? If Staybrite finished aluminum, early 1960s on. If brass earlier than that. I've never seen these OFF the top of a cap, so I don't know if the thin "needle" pins rather than flattened / ended prongs are any clue in dating them.
