You often see hubcaps lying in the road, and I suppose you could fail to notice one coming off if you had the car radio on, but how could you miss this ?
It really does burn me up though, the seller had GOT to know that's not a tricone, or even a National part. They pretend to be ignorant but yet toss in terms they wouldn't know if they were so ignorant.
I think the situation is more like this: Some drunk, 250lb. heffer sat on some guy's resonator guitar at a wild, all-night party. All that's left now is the cover plate. Hey, maybe I can sell it on e-bay!!
Great line Mr. Brown! I wish I'd thought of it my very own self! Bobby, your's was funny too! That's what is so great about being able to plug into the Forum; Great minds, great people, great musicians....
