Although not a Nippy, our May 1934 PD still had what appeared to be its original duck hood with Lift the Dot fasteners when we bought it in 1974.
Now we're talking! Clearly THAT changes the situation entirely. So thanks for further clarification. I'll perhaps ask him about the hood.
Your PD - have you still got images of that, or indeed the remains? I'll send you the pics of mine to see if there are similarities. But it sounds that you think that double duck WAS a possibility for '34/'35, irrespective? Others thoughts on this? (cloth sandwiching a rubberised layer)
many thanks
A couple of 1974 PD pics are attached. The hood cover was definitely double duck and the fasteners Lift the Dot. Unfortunately, these aren't visible in the photo.
The sign on the back was the previous owner's joke and read "I smoke rather a lot, but I am trying to give it up!"
