Thanks for the support folks but by now you can see what I was up against. And therefore this thread. I'm positive that if I walked into a bricks...
Very cool but I think I could forgive the guy if it was otherwise uncollectible and damaged beyond it's silver value. I would think this would be...
See how good you are doing at this! Even I did not know the date. Good for you, you go girl!!
Quite the interesting piece. I've heard that press operators use a nail to clear jams with and this might be the likely case, set up on the rail,...
