Just edited the pictures into your post for you Nick. All you need to do having posted the pictures in the Gallery is to copy the "Forum Code" and paste it into your Forum post.

Does Steve Walker have any recollection where it came from. If Eric Deen was involved it's likely to have come from around the Bay Area.
