Seller's Note/ Scarce, indeed! This is one of those LRBCs that everyone is wishing to add to their collection but cannot find. As best my memory serves, this is only the third example that we have spotted in the last 30 years...just saying.

As I have so little time these days, this issue was cleaned for us by one of our NRC friends, R Ward. Not bad, eh? :-)
