For the younger crowd, Janet Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother.
After 1839, it's beyond my abilities. Late Dates are tough.
Nice Old Thread Here is a 1942-P with some toning. Unfortunately, toning was captured, but detail was not. There are actually steps except at the...
I think many people looked at it as a convenient washer and discovered after varying effort that it wasn't as easy to poke a hole in as supposed.
