Unless they used up stock from the previous year, the escutcheon they used on my 40-780 was brass, I do not know if it used to have paint on it or no. Bob Andersen's 39-30 was brass but was painted with metallic gold or brass paint rather then bright brass. Neither of these sets used the thumb-wheel knobs however, so the thumb-wheel knob sets like the 39-116 may have been different.
