Don't do business with the Huntington Investment Company.

Personally, I'd rather have a 1A.


Had 5 or 6 of them.


Used to drool over them as a kid. How'd they work?


Quite nicely. Interesting design that always reminds me of a mailbox.

The ones I had went to Japan with one exception, and that one went to Sindre Torp, 'The Drake Collector' in Norway.

There is currently a 1A up on eBay:
