[Tigers] Fwd: Short Windshield Wipers from 50s/60s (Jay Laifman)

[Susan and Larry Wright]

	Jay:

	Sorry, I cannot get any attachments from the list, they are always “scrubbed”. But, just for fun, I did a search for “snowmobile wipers” and the results show some very short ones both arms and blades. No idea why I did that, no snowmobiles around here. Good luck!
