Hi Derek,
Once again thanks very much for your knowledge and insight.
Fair enough on the box issue. Can't argue with the explanation. And no issue with the weight surviving 50+ years.
I suppose my initial thoughts were that this came directly from the factory, in said box and I was thinking surely their inventory wouldn't have lasted or been allowed to last 30+ years before being converted into income.
However, i know there are businesses out there that would struggle at times with keeping tabs on their inventory levels.
Also, this, as you say, may have been re-boxed and sold on, though not necessarily directly from PP.
Thanks again for your help.
It has been an education.
Regards,
Shane McD
