Pretty sure Frankenstein never made a tropical schiffchen.

Agree, while i don't recall seeing a Frankenstein sidecap. Find this a little surprising ?
Considering all the tropical sidecaps made in 1940/41 and some of the photos that have very faded piss covers (sidecaps).

Now that you mentioned it, I'm sure one will turn up in the not two distance future on a dealers web site
