    I Need Feedback for My Feedback

    Took a Chance: 1949/1950 Half and Half

    I was perusing the 'Bay and came accross a sealed tin of 1949 H&H and a 1950 tin. I took a chance. I was able to date the stamps through Woodsroads research on an earlier thread.

I don't know if they routed it through the Gobi but only 3lb 4oz of it had ANY moisture in it fit to jar. Most of it sounds like a bag...
