Comments/description: Three identical openers in this lot. One is fully original in its pale yellow paint and bright chrome trim. One has had the yellow and plating removed from the front to reveal the bare brass below, giving it a metallic gold appearance. Wear from this removal is evident in the chrome still present at either end. Original yellow paint is still visible on the reverse and side panels. The third has been stripped of most of the yellow paint, though some traces remain on the side panels, and the top has either been refinished with a darker reddish-brown substance or the brass has been left to tarnish to this color. This one could not be opened using a reasonable amount of force while the other two operated flawlessly. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
