That's a great foto, Aldo!
We were still attaching our corks on the bottles that way in the '50's into
early '60's a little, and then it was over.
We also were taping the cables into the '60's like that also as it cut into
our gloves and/or span between thumb and index fingers.
Just a little trip down memory lane, interesting how the advancement then
really took off starting in the '60's.
Aldo's history fotos are invaluable, if you have a keep as-is condition
oldie and goodie and enjoy putting on those touches of authenticity.
Don't forget your corks for the bar and stem holes, and sometimes taping or
securing a piece of fabric or leather on the sharp hex head stem bolts or
stem edge for protection.
