Looks like a soggy bottom Bakewell to me. Derbyshires a nice place for pootling though.

Borrowed my mates bullet case tumbler and used crushed walnut and rouge powder for the final shine as the wings caused difficulty.

I came across these hot forged brass valve caps of the 1920's Michelin design. Since I've developed a brass habit I got a pair in the raw state much cheaper and polished them myself.

Are they heavy enough to put the wheel out of balance, or do those older bikes not get fast enough for that ?

Solid Brass Monza fuel cap made in limited batches. I missed the last run and put my name down. The Gods have smiled upon me and granted my wish.
The rarely seen Monza Capicus Brassicus.

I balanced wheels with them on, didn't make much difference only added 2.5g opposite but with me riding it's all done at 65 mph anyway.

I'm becoming a serial polisher 🤪
I had to order a second one as Mother decided she liked the shape so much she wants one in her cabinet of Objet d'art. So 'technically' I have a spare, actually trying to use it would get me killed.
