The rocket-shaped rivets adorning the horn rims
symbolize America's Space Age,
when the nation was captivated by the moon landing.
This design, infused with the full spirit of the mid-century,
is timeless and still resonates today,
in an era when private rockets are making space travel possible.
Hand-polished and shaped,
the horn rims protrude from both sides.
Featuring the rich depth of material
unique to American acetate of this era,
along with other luxurious details and high quality.
Enjoy a style that is uniquely yours,
unlike anyone else's. This is the genuine article from that era.
