I had a 1968 850 Spyder. I think this a 1967 model. The '68 had little side marker lights on the front and rear fenders that were not on the '67 and since I don't see the lights here, I conclude '67. If you could see the front it would be easy, the '67 had cool aerodynamic covers over the head lights, whereas the '68 had exposed vertical plain head lights. The side markers and the exposed head light was due to NHTSA regs that went into effect for 1968 and later models.

I fill an Aladdin Stanley quart stainless vacuum "thermos" every day for home use. After a few months a brown scum forms on the inside. I use a partial tablet of automatic dishwasher detergent and boiling water, fill, shake it up and let sit overnight and rinse with hot water (several times) in the morning. The coffee residue will come out as kind of a brown film. Looking down at the bottom under a strong light, you can see it is now shinny stainless. Good to go until next time.

If you like a heavy leather belt (and near indestructible) check out the belt at 1791 Holsters. It has been perfect for me.

The window treatment with the scallop above the window was unique to the early 747s.

E Z Lap diamond sharpening devices (can't call them "stones" as they are steel with adhered diamond grit) will do a great job and last practically forever.

Check out the Orvis offerings. Carried one for 30 years. If not in a rush, search eBay under "Orvis bag" and you might find a good deal on a lightly used one.

I enjoyed many years with Orvis bags (and before that Gokey). Buy new or look on eBay for a nice used one for much less, search for "Orvis bag".
