Who's currently wearing . . .

I vividly remember your first post many years ago . . .

. . . in which you shared a close-up of your black '62. Not sure how many I've seen since, but it can't be more than the number of balls in play during a game of 3-ball. Thanks for sharing your Connie collection, Jacob. Warmest, Art ...
