whilst Dorothea Hats of Toronto appear to have used steel ? and therefore magnetic grommets in their wartime and postwar berets, Grand Mere Knitting Company Limited did use a mixture of brass ? (like the UK counterpart) and metal grommets in their beret production. note metal, ferrous based and not brass an alloy devoid of the three main magnetic elements. I have personally handled two with brass ? grommets and an example can be found in ' CANUCK ' Clothing and Equipping the Canadian Soldier 1939 - 1945. given the rarity of these berets it is difficult to produce an accurate pie chart. funny old game isn't it .
