I like that Glass Handle With Care sticker. It's a cheery day when that happens.

No, it really was 39... it's 40 now...

OK, Ok. Here's what the box looks like:

I see the box has an affinity for books.........................

You sure that it did not come from Amazon.com?

It's perhaps fitting in many ways that one of the books on the shelf was written by Tolstoy.

Not that box, but the earlier one did... We get LOTS of boxes from Amazon...

I get the feeling that the story of this (bass?) instrument is going to be of epic proportions. Teaser

CJ, you could have let me hold on to it for you until warmed up there. Then you wouldn't have to wait for it to warm up to open it!

Congrats in advance, whatever it is!

Anyone have any idea what these cryptic runes might mean?

Could be a clue, but it might be totally unrelated...

Well, it does not look like a virgin box from RIC, so I say there is something, perhaps fishy, in that there box of yours.

Vintage silver case.

Could be, but not likely. A case would not have to warm up slowly. Hmmmm

All the boxes would have that warning as I can't see RIC having an inventory of boxes solely for empty cases.

OK, I figure it's been a couple of hours, it couldn't hurt to take it out of the cardboard box...

So, here's what I found:

And it has a label too!

I sure hope it's not empty...

cjj · Post by **cjj** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 10:52 pm

OK, I took a chance, and guess what? it's NOT empty!

In fact, it almost looks like there might be something else in there too...

Definitely teasing now.................you may get two flat tires for this CJ.
