At 1st glance was going to throw out but after looking at the date I figured I should ask the experts. What do you all make of this? Trash or is it something worth keeping? Again thank you all. For the knowledge you share. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 11/23/2021 06:58 am @the, this one is a spender for me. That zinc rot is only going to spread. Funny how it attacked the bottom part of the 3 though.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 11/23/2021 07:14 am Very aggressive occurrence of zinc rot--like a bad rash which won't go away, only spreads. The date has been distorted. Report this Post to the Staff
