My friend sent me some digital shots of the thing, so I thought I'd
share them with y'all.  You can see them here:

I wish I'd find stuff like this in my basement! :D  

Several of you mentioned that I should contact Jim Lager.  How does one
do that?  Thanks for all help.  PAW tomorrow, if I get done scanning!
