new convertible boot, and original boot markings for those interested

[JC68vert300]

My original convertible boot finally started to split after almost 57 years and once it strarted, the wind really accelerated it while driving. I put some Gorilla black tape on it to stop the splitting from continuing.
The new boot is from Legendary and I think it looks very close to the original. Fit is good. it came with 3 snaps done at the factory. One on the center at the rear, 2 on each side by the rear quarter window. I had the balance of the snaps done at an upholstery shop. They did it while I waited and it was $100. Before and after:

For you original numbers, markings guys. The underside of the original boot has a circle with GS, and 11/67 ink stamped on it. My schedule build date on the fender tag is 12/6/67. In house inspection mark maybe?

The original OEM material has those marks from the material manufacturer.
