I guess it's a little unclear what you desire. Most of our lids look exactly like yours. Personally, it's never occurred to restore a lid with pre-printed information on it. Jerry

I want an image of a single cap like the picture but taken with a good
camera or scanned.I will then remove the record information to make new caps
by printing new info on the image and then print labels.

Any good? I have looked at hundreds of Amberol caps and this is the best I can find.

Alistair.

Sorry, I'm a little slow. I suggested a lid exchange some time ago but the idea never got off the ground. Jerry
