Erik, We all appreciate your posts. Don't think that we don't.
You have some of the more interesting and educational posts on this site.
I for one have learned a lot by your postings.
Without you postings, we'd be less informed.
So please Erik, Keep up the brilliant posting!
And Thanks!

Re: One-Shot Hear=ye, hear-ye!!
Just wondering if the NO LEAD content of lettering paint is confined to American Manufacturers, or is it a world wide ban.
If I remember correctly, China still uses leaded paint.

Kent,
Thanks for the offer!
But I was able to get in touch with Mark Oatis, and he has agreed to pick it up sometime this week and hang onto it until the spring, when I will be making a trip west to pick it up.
Maybe we can all meet up sometime in April...That would be Great!
