What year was that
Was it during the Yellow Catapole era with Ampro CATS/

Or was it before that when Skypole had Brown poles painted yellow to help sell them? they called the the yellow bananas

:D
I love the PV, it is in my DNA

1964 I think that was the year of the meteor pole that had a yellow pole
Made by the old name Bacota Co. or now called PUMA
but then there was the swedish steel pole too that was yellow and made of aluminum swedged and tapered by NORDIC

I think the steel pole might be more handy for battling the Duke of Deception!
