Mine is loooong gone. I wonder if my ex still has it. I could have asked
her the other day. But I now have my father's F2a. Sort of a pinnacle of
mechanical engineering. Not sure why I keep it, though.

No kidding. I dropped mine on the concrete floor at Hoover Dam. Somehow,
it seems like a piece of concrete that big should be harder than
ordinary concrete. :-) A little dent in the corner of the bottom and an
out of focus, askew photo of the ceiling were the only consequences.
