Great Balls of Fire again Hat Wizard Hufford. Another great catch of cool ones. The one 7 1/4 straw is Hanoki straw. I know a feller in Buckeye AZ who’ll have his eye on that one if it lands on eBay. -

I agree with you very similar in build and design, I think you’re right. I really wanted to see behind the sweat but even though it was in good condition it just wasn’t very flexible. Already had a couple of loose-popped stitches didn’t want to chance it. Seems like when there’s already a few... -
