Santa Barbara Boobie
« on: September 11, 2013, 08:29:40 PM »
Well it's finally ready to show. It was really difficult and expensive to get. I just cleaned it up and nothing else. The color is pinkish tan and the areola has a reddish hue to it. :-[





Notice the vent isn't stamped patent pending. It also has a square tab.

Is there no location stamped on that vent either?

And you must really like it because of how severe that dirty angle is.

That is one beautiful boobie! I even like the patina on the whitewalls. There seems to be way more "mist" on this one than I've seen on others. I like that!
 
My best guess its a '64-'66. My thumbscrew red 18 has the rounded vent tab on the lid, it must be a '67-'68 then? This is just, awesome!
