The juice extractor lid, re-purposed for an air cleaner, is very Art Deco in appearance. It reminds me of the BMW motorcycle and rider, Ernst Henne, I believe it was who just-before WW II put himself into the record books with a factory supercharged ride. Here is a pic of him and his helmet. Resemblance?
