MARGARETHE VOLLMERS.

The initials suggest to Rosanoski that the livery may originally have belonged to Claudius, with Margarethe perhaps his widow or sister retaining it; this is conjecture. Schneider’s V256 flag differs from the cited V257 source: the letters are too small and too light blue, and the dots are missing. An undated black-and-white Gretchen Vollmers photograph shows no letters on the plain white funnel band, a narrow top, and no evident red bands; the base and top look similarly dark.
