early edition
hello,
the shell is from the first or second production serie in 1949/50 and they only had stickers on it. the company was zenith plastics, gardena, michigan. they produced the shells with the large shockmounts only in that time period. later versions were smaller pucks.
your shell is painted, it could be that the previous owner has done that job, or the company has made it. but it looks that the shockmounts are also painted.
