Chromes for sale. (very long)
Tom Cretain
modern, dating from the 1970's or later. Most are large sized, or extra
long. They may cost a lot to mail, but this is included in my price.
Let me know by private e-mail if you would like something.
Sorry for the long post, but I figured people would like to know
what they're buying. After this one, I'll keep away from such long
posts.
