    Wullie, Here is another King, but it lists a different address. I bet some of the guys (like Manah or Niel Miller) with those amazing powers of GoogleFu could find out what dates they were in business. If its after the "England" stamp requirement, then you know its all-American! Name:  DSCN8453.jpg

    How depressing. Learning that my big King is not American, and having that cruel, horrible Sharptonn person remind me of long lost American King, which I pawned to pay for plasma for my pet geese after that terrible Easter feast misunderstanding.

    I'll be glad to give it a loving home with its little brother of mine if you feel you should have to cast it out.

    A feral cat, or a pet? Dead cat? A mouser, perhaps? Green apples? Inquiring minds need to know!
