Poison_Us - it doesn't count if it's machine made, right? I have one (not sure yet the exact measurements), AND it's attic mint! Pellets, cotton, and cork still in it, but it's machine made. []
No it doesn't matter, they came in BIMAL and ABM. Just that yours is a later issue is all. But if you have one that is complete, that's what makes is special. So measure away.
