[quote name='firstduephotos' post='57142' date='Dec 8 2006, 11:06 ']I see what appears to be some radiant heat damage on the driver's side of this piece. Anyone have the story behind the story? One of the mill/factory fires up that way perhaps??[/quote]
I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking most of it may have occured at the 10-bagger at Henry Leather on May 10th, 1984. Some more of it may have happened at the old Green Apple Nightclub fire on Rt. 1 north...not sure of the date. As has been said throughout the earlier posts, there were so many BIG factory and leather shop fires in the 70's and 80's that it could've happened at any of them. I know the piece was in service until 90 or 91 so it definatly saw some wild jobs in it's lifetime!!!
