That's a crying shame !

This was a very nice Shell globe I bought years ago and this was what we found when we opened the box

Painful but great thread!!

This thread has a few cut, bent and mutilated signs in it.

Found this inside my Clear vision 203 covering the back access hole. Pleasant surprise to say the least.

This thread is like a car crash. I don't want to look, but I can't stop myself
