Hi John,
The original strip had a functional metal strip along the bottom edge onto
which the clips locate. There is another decorative chrome strip along the top
edge. The modern replacements do not have that decorative strip. I've looked at
manufacturing accurate reproductions, but we simply don't have the funds to
pursue all the projects we'd like to simultaneously. They'd inevitably be more
expensive than what's currently out there, and do enough people care about the
difference? Discuss.....
Cheers,
Bill.
