amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 7:43 pm I know you can shrink them with anhydrous ammonia. But I think it would be much smaller? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqU1VrOX5r8 Quote: maybe cut from a sheet at home by someones kid, ruined grandpas collection No. The serial # would begin with a 9 if it were from an uncut sheet.

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 11:50 pm First thing that came to mind was it went through the wash/dryer combo. They are made from 75% cotton and 25% linen fibers, so it's certainly plausible, but I have not personally tested it out. Report this Post to the Staff
