spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 10:31 pm I know it's just a novelty but, if I came across a set with the original papers, I'd get them (depending on price of course). From the looks of it, they must have been plated/packaged in 1980 or very close to that. Have you looked them up to see if they're still in business?

FireballXL5 Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 10:46 pm It's just something I came across looking through a bunch of grandpas spare change... there's so much I'm going through I haven't had time to investigate these little treasures... so, in the meantime I'm posting interesting finds like these here to the community to help me find ones worth researching. ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
