Cleaning out the studio i've come across 11 boxes of VINTAGE small
Orton cones, and 4 boxes of VINTAGE large cones, All boxes are
unopened, and many have the original batch numbers stamped on them
from when batch numbers were below a few hundred. These are
extremely old cones packed in either wood shavings or vermiculite. I
see no reason why you couldn't use them if you wanted to, but they
make even better collectables or gifts. DO NOT REPLY ON LIST. A
photograph (jpeg) can be made available for those who inquire OFF LIST.

$50 includes ALL CONES plus shipping to your address in the
continental US. I will include an exta 4 OPENED boxes of cones
(017,018,019 small, and 019 large in the package.) Please DISREGARD
this posting after 10/20/2006. No thanks, I don't want to sell them
separately.
