Do you think any ring manufactures had a hand in the pull tab?? Any possibilities of the pull tab being made out of plastic?? Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info. I found one of those 1964 tops the other day...can't remember where the heck I was, nor did I know what it was. I thought it was a newer oil can top. Humph.
