Pick me one from out of your roll, wouldya please? Funny thing… I guess a roll of those wouldn’t… roll. (Clunk clunk clunk)
I love those 1973 versions. Just bought one for my sister to put in a necklace. She wanted one of the ancient ones, but they’re expensive, and it would be a shame to damage one by mounting it in jewelry. So the 1973 was the next best thing.
Mike- sorry I accidentally deleted your quoted post earlier. The forum froze up on me, and made one of my replies triple-post. When I deleted my duplicate posts, I also accidentally deleted your post that I quoted above.
To make up for it, I won’t let you outright give me that octagonal Pan-Pac from your clunky roll of them. I insist on giving you full face value for it. Message me your address so I can send you the fifty bucks.
I believe that @johnmilton has a pair ... of Pan-Pac owls that is. I think he's posted one before ... maybe again. Mike
You made me dump out my foreign coin jar to see if I had a Greek owl, but nope. I think all I have is this replica on a tie clip from grandpa. Go Broncos, or something.
