Rhett,

This is a great item!

You will not believe this... (Something I have never forgot) Years ago, someone on this board or the old Net54 board asked if anybody remembered getting something similar to your item from a Gas Station when they were kids. I think it was stated that it was some sort of premium given out - you were to light it with a cigarette and essentially it would burn around the bases (there was a baseball diamond image) - if it burned all the way around to home-plate you got a prize! Apparently some would stop burning at first or second base etc.

Everyone on the board was intrigued by this, but no one else had ever heard of it.

I cannot remember who originally asked about it? I seem to remember a comment being made that "probably not many being around due to the nature of the item"...

I have wanted one (even though not knowing what it looked like) ever since this person posted about years ago....
