There is not an extra value for this unless a lot of letters are missing. But it is still cool. Report this Post to the Staff

Since the cost of ownership is low, you could keep this one until a more extreme example comes your way.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96065 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 12:23 pm yep, a Struck Through Grease would be my guess also. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
