I am a right old cap-victim and would like to share with you a few new arrivals that I have never come across before:
First, there is the 50pF Magic Mushroom. 
Unsure of the brand, it is printed with what looks like a Masonic Christmas tree, if there could be such a thing,
like this:  
                 ^
                 ^
                 ^
Then there is the ultimate minimalist air-spaced Siemens+Halske 460pF. 
This is so logical. 
I have seen lots of Micas with rivets like this, but never a cap which is just two sheets rivetted together. 
It makes so much sense.
Next up is one big bear of a Coalition of Communist Crusaders for the Proletariat cap which seems to be dated 1941. 
Only one leg. 
War veteran.
Finally, lurking in the box was a huge Krachen from the REMIX brand with no less than seven leads. 
Looks like one signal in and three pairs out?
All the best, tony

How do air caps sound like? Airy?
