Hi Lou,
What a fantastic find, any idea what the filling was ? or what it was designed for. I don't recal seeing one painted up quite like that before, your 20 dollars went a long way.
Best regards Weasel.

I dont know man,ordnance gods smiling down on me? Double luck too,it was the second day of that particular show. And I didnt show up to the show till well into the afternoon. On top of that,this wasnt hiding,it was right there up front on the guys table. I couldnt believe it....
Andy,thanks..?My info is locked up in a broken computer right now so Im not sure what the load was. It may be in another post too.
Rick,Im still waiting for my disco ball shell pic......
