Every anecdote or additional piece of information adds to our collective knowledge as well as the enjoyment and pleasure we derive from our vintage lids.
Any paticular reason for this price structure, such as raw material or finishing cost, that you are aware of?
Splendid and scarce Derby that looks great on you, by the way.
Thanks, Robert! The label reads: 'Rutenio c. asfalto', which I interpreted as 'Rutenio colore asfalto. Should have realized that it actually represents: Rutenio con asfalto', or 'Ruthenium with asphalt'.
