    I have a really hard time with that story...really. The disc looks like it's hiding damage that they admit to. I'm sure someone will come along shortly to fill in the story. I wouldn't pay for that meal though...

    A definite pass. I agree looks like the disk was added to cover damage. Cleaning rod is a repro and I see a lot of telltale signs of a recent cleanup, to make it appear nicer.

    Chutney anyone?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
