There is no such item on my Olympus prices lists from the 1970s or
later.  I see these from time to time in boxes of used caps.  My
recollection is that is was MARKETED in the USA by Kalt - who made them
is anyone's guess.

<< Oh well I'm hoping a very wealthy eccentric Japanese collector is
lurking on this board and will offer me a small fortune for this truly
rare specimen so that I can can purchase some food and necessities after
paying my taxes.  Otherwise I will donate it to an international camera
museum for the entire world to enjoy after my demise.  Any ideas for
displaying this rare gem? >>

Oh, please . . . spare us all the sarcasm.
