Scott L commented on Shane's group Steampunk Collective

Scott L replied to Tracy Tomlinson's discussion Good find

"I picked up on a similar deal a couple of years ago at a flea market. It was a Lyon which I think they used to sell before they called it First Act. It had been dropped which left a nasty ding in the body but for $45 I couldn't pass it up…"
