Yeah, I do the exact same thing.
Yes, thanks for sharing. I will admit, my first thought on seeing it was, Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Thanks for all the help @Roaring20s! You're so good at finding things! And thanks for the helpful comments @Boland-- I always appreciate them.
Cool item @Boland and provocative possibilities @2manybooks!
Found this today at a garage sale for not much. It's good size: 16" long and 6-7" wide. Can it be, could it be, is it even possible, that all the...
