It's essential to have it in the title. * I'm thinkin' it's an LMC struck through a staple ..., but alack and alas you folks excel in the bad habit of proving me wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Kcm Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 11/08/2025 7:34 pm I checked it out with neodymium magnet. No trace of magnetism. I have lost a lot of skill on how to use this forum. I tried to upload more images. Couldn't figure out how to do it. Let's see if I can add one here. It looks like it has concave features the shine and convex features akin to rust. If it were rust, I would expect to respond to the magnet. Report this Post to the Staff
