Does anyone know how old this sucker is? The company was apparently purchased by Crane in 1960, which went out of biz in 1968.

Hey, Bain, how you been?

My guess would be early '60s only because Michigan is abbreviated as Mich instead of MI.

Plus, the screws that hold that plate are way cooler than screws from the '70s or later.

Plus the sucker is equipped for "mixed" gas, whatever that was.

Life's good, Jim. I hope the same is true for you.

Business is crazy, here, and didn't really slow down during the winter. I truly don't know why. That's mostly a good thing, but ten-hour days absolutely take their toll on one's mind and body.

Huge pent up demand; lots of people on the sidelines with dry powder waiting to take a shot, they sensed the market had bottomed, now they're in.

Louisville is a big city with a decent economy, and folks need housing. It's America, people want to own their home.
