<p>At some point in their history, both Century and Aristocrat bases' top edges were lowered. Century happened in early 70s, Aristo possibly a bit later. Yours is one of a few, made in the oh, 71-74 or so era, where the gold lacquer applied to the metal tended to fade, leaving them silver; I've only seen this on Centuries. The earlier ones also had closer rows of holes, yes. Good eye!</p>

<p>Variances all over the place. I know Marley and I once had a conversation just about the variances to be found in Wizard and Starship caps. The joys of being an OCD goo-head!</p>
