Not that it really matters, but I believe the black is enameling, not 
anodizing.  Anodizing is done on aluminum; I don't believe it's 
possible to anodize steel.  

I have a number of older Suzuki Hammond Mouth Organs which also have 
this black finish on the covers, which are otherwise shaped just like 
the Fire Breath and the Promaster.  My at-the-time-infant son was able 
nick some of the enameling off the covers with his emergent teeth.  
These days, he'd use a hammer, or just rub it on the concrete.
