Catalogue Note
Although the edition was announced as 750, this was not possible for technical reasons. Lullin records the highest numbering on the labels on the reverse as 120. Lullin also notes that very few examples in chrome were produced due to the acute difficulty in achieving a satisfactory chrome finish.
