My suspicion is that Sweet Cap 150 Factory 25 was before Factory 30 or Factory 649. (All Piedmont and Sovereign 150s are Factory 25.) This suspicion is based on image clarity and the fact that most Wagners are Sweet Cap 150/25.
Edited to add: So if you are looking for a “true” Marquard rookie go with Hands at Side Piedmont 150, Sovereign 150 or Sweet Cap 150/25. |
Appreciate the detail! Sounds like I'm likely going to try to get them all in piedmont 150 and whatever isn't in piedmont 150 I'll settle for piedmont 350
