Well it only weighed 6 ounces packaged so we know what ever it is it is not very big or heavy, Even the little BS&R advertising ashtray skillets weigh over 8 ounces so it had to be even smaller than that. The packaging itself looks like it weighs between 2-3 ounces so what we are left with something that is very light weighing under 4 ounces.
Oh and we know it was shipped from North East Pa just north and east of Erie on June 11 and it was delivered to you on June 13(today)

I got it...You bought a chicken egg :P

All righty... now this is what I finally unwrapped from the 'waxed' popcorn box....

And it appeared to have made the journey okay in spite of some crush crinkles to the box.

WOW, not this lady is smart. I'm impressed Valerie.  ;) :)

Congratulations Cheryl. Another addition to your little family. I sure have never seen one of these for sale out in the real world. Nice pieces Cheryl. Thanks for sharing.  :)

Valerie what kind of 'training' are you talking about? It must have something to do with the law perhaps.  :-/

Congratulations on a great find there Cheryl. That A-510 is a lot tougher to find than the A-51 normally seen. And, what a really nice cleaning job....as usual ! :) ;)

My name is not Perry. You do not know me. There is another person who I believe has assumed my identity, right down to saying he likes cast iron. And if Cheryl and Valerie say ANYTHING about me its a lie. ::) ;D

Valerie the way you laid that all out there about that package and all them details. I thought your work might be in law. We have some law folks on here too. One still working in fact.
