George and Silas,
Great poster. Have only one comment. You need to readjust your date on
the "pull tab". The original pull tabs were in fact tabs--if memory
serves--and not "pull rings"--which post-dated the tabs by several years.
A number of fingers were sliced using the original tabs which probably
contributed to the invention of the "pull ring".
Again, great poster.
