That's the way it is for me a big mystery. I've seen hundreds of vintage and well poyuzat Zipp at least 20-30 percent have crumpled cover or if not wrinkled, just "chipped" with traces of this "nailing" - such a fine-mesh of small dots around the top of the lid, and often slightly flattened top. I could not find a clear explanation for this :) But it is a fact :)

To me, this is something clogging tracks or traces such as (to a point) remain after pressing surface on something harder or abrasive (even usually sand). Yes, to be honest, I do sometimes was ready to press anything, the goal, to knock, knock, or open (beer) lighter, stopped myself, really. But a couple of times, did not resist, as I recall. :) And so unscrew the flint firmly hooked - a sweet deal, out of the corner cabinet ... :) If you are not afraid of small traces of it after that. For my workhorse Street Chrome is not a factor, I think it most suitable for coating wear even with coins and keys, though so. Although the hands glide over it, if very dry ... drop down a couple of times from his fingers - surface friction is small in comparison with the usual chrome ... :)

Incidentally, these patterns are of dots falling on any asphalt, tile in the entryway, etc. - For every thing that has abrasive particles (gryazyuka) :). It is a wholly-owned watch, just now remembered. And if she is 40 years old, then certainly it Forward enough, I think. :) And if Butera butter fly down, Zippy - lid down, noticed. ;)
