keiser31 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Aftermarket cap from the 1910s to 1920s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Most, if not all, of these caps were nickle plated diecast and are usually found now full of cracks and broken pieces. That's probably why the top is missing and I'd bet the paint is hiding broken wings or cracks.Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen too many of these around, and they are usually broken. The last picture is one from my collection.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
