Help would be most welcome. Can you tell me what this is? What it says? Thank you so very much, Banshee * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Banshee 01/07/2018 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Banshee New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 11:20 am Thanks, jbuck! And thank you for your reply andyg. I have rotated the first photo. I do not have a gram scale, but my digital postal scale shows .5 oz., so somewhere around 14 g. When I have access to a gram scale, I can post a more accurate weight. -Banshee Report this Post to the Staff
