Inner Sleeve Notes |
There are three types of inner sleeves and they can be easily identified. Look at the tab on the back (since I haven't come across any other term for it, I call it the "back tab").
|
Oval Back Tab - The inner sleeve with the oval back tab is opaque with a metal inner spring. It has a "Tiff's Square Spring" (see #30 at Spectres' Nubs & Such) and the bottom of the spring is half-enclosed. It will only be found on the 2.6/Austria/IMC 2 stems.
|
Rectangle Back Tab - The inner sleeve with the rectangle back tab is opaque with a metal inner spring. It has a half-top and the bottom of the spring is not enclosed. It is only found with 2.6/Yugoslavia/IMC V and 3.4/no country/IMC 5 stems.
|
| Circle Back Tab - The inner sleeve with the round back tab is semi-transparent with a single-leaf plastic inner spring. All Jiminy's with one or two hat posts going through his head have this type of inner sleeve. |
