Cap Cleaning Help

[tgn]

A cap that most of us only dream about. What an amazing find! What a fantastic addition to your collection. Thanks for showing it...Tom

Bob,

Wise decision on not cleaning. At the rate cloning technology is going there should be enough DNA left in your hat to have the original owner cloned eventually. Just joking of course...the whole world wants to know, where is that fifth hat? Congratulations on your find.

There are at least two more, in "sleeper" collections of reclusive collectors.

Hello,

Amazing cap...
By the way, has anybody here any period picture of that cap with BeVo insignas in use?

Thanks

Dear Bob

If you want that Cap cleaned forward it to my address for the best job, my turnaround time on these project is give or take 60 years.

I think dirt adds character, but if you're just dying to clean it.
A little dish washing detergent works great. A little Joy, Dove, Ajax, etc. in some warm water, let it soak a while, work it in with your fingers, rinse and presto, brand new. It's very mild and designed to remove oil & grease.

You can try it on a piece of cloth insignia to test it if you like.

Edit: Didn't notice this was an old thread, doh!

Regards,
Mike

Hello Billbert,

Thanks for the reply.
I have that book but I honestly don't remember the pictures now...are you sure there are several pictures with the BeVo insignas on?

Best Regards
