OK, so I've been hanging onto a very old hairnet for a few years now. On the front exterior it has "PEUGEOT" inside a checkerboard pattern (very faint now) and on the inside of the hairnet is printed/stamped:

"Made in GDR" "Marke Spolezi"

I've done a search on Marke Spolezi and come up with nothing.

Who/What is Marke Spolezi? Where is GDR?

Oh, and when did leather hairnets first appear?

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies,
