    Agreed, they look fine from a practical point of view; I doubt they are originals however. On the original pads the spigot was configured slightly differently IIRC.

    On balance, difficult to say, other than the end of the spigot they do look right, but the finish? They have a sort of aged look, but cold blue and emery paper etc. will make a fair simulation.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
