Maker: "Ideal" (brand; trademarked). Manufacturer not confirmed — "GAA" may be a maker's code/initials (unverified). Web search did not resolve the brand or producer. Date: Undetermined; no date printed. Design strongly suggests a pre‑1960 product (1940s–50s idiom). Cannot be confirmed within 1959–1990 and may fall outside it (likely earlier) — flagged.
