What Ho bunji.

That sounds logical.



My only ponder would be as to why the sections are so clean. As for the larger, with the Rangoon metal container within a cardboard box, I understand. BUT the rag(s) used would surely have stained the green baize . Would the rag also have been in some sealed container?

Anyway, Westley Richards are NIL stock..... The hunt now starts.................

Many thanks
