Dave, I got those photos from Chris Clayton, you can ask him all about it. IIRC, it belongs to someone in the NYC area. I too love it!

Hey Aitch, no sweat, relax: Dave's got too much color inside that catseye anyway, dontcha think? A little attack of oversprayitis, or does he just stuff all his parking tickets and lottery tickets in there for safekeeping?

Since my 1966 4005WB is still at Dale's getting a new MG overcoat, can I "Milton Berle" your photo for mine too? Image

No worries, Elys. Is that a pawn shop sticker inside the cavity, I wonder?? ImageImage

Since I play out Mr. Potato Head a good amount, I believe that all the moving of it jarred the label off.


I do think that it is from the factory.

Nice label! Image But that label is white and the thing in the catseye looks red....

Is it a speeding ticket? A laundry ticket? Image

When I scan the label, the orange background does not show up.

Elys, here is a very rare 1967 4005-8, but made in a four string version. Image
