Thanks for clarifying that, Dave. It obviously is a light reflection instead of a white valve.
I visited the company's website. Founded in 1844! The early bird gets the worm.

"...We were founded in 1844 by German pioneer August Schrader, inventor of the now famous Schrader pneumatic tire valve; the very same patented valve which is used on every motor vehicle in the world today..."

An unerring instinct led me to this wikipedia entry: "Charles Goodyear (December 29, 1800 - July 1, 1860) was the first to vulcanize rubber, a process which he discovered in 1839 and patented on June 15, 1844."
