Howard & List,
I have 4 and never checked, I'm sending them to Frankie Jr. to clean off
the paint I'll have him check that too. Can you send an image of that crack
or at least the location so I can check mine?
Sorry to hear about that crack, it took me years to track mine down and
Frank Sr. found them knowing I was looking. Oddly around the same time I
was trying to find a set a guy in 2008 had all 4 in boxes with caps sealed
and I was too cheep to give him the 1K he wanted for them. What a loss as
they were never used ever and I couldn't find him a few years later.
