I see a figure '2' at the left hand side but I don't know whether that indicates February or 2nd quarter. Either way, first half of 1960....
Yeah, for £20 apiece, I'd have them away... :D
Try a Tilley - there should be a few to be had in the US. They're easy to fettle, spare parts are easily available and so on. As for no skill, I...
