Interesting that you guys should mention root beer. Rikster sent me this a little while ago and it has me thinking... Ignore the 70's theme here. The gold flake base with root beer Kandy panels is where its at. Lace inserts showed up around '65-66, a little late. Maybe earlier if you believe that Dutch discovered the technique and then told Watson. But fish scales are period and might be just right in those panels... Still thinking.
