What's the hair on that, Kev? Looks like boar...? I daresay Fido might know!

This old Simpson is being bid up on the Bay at the moment!

A good idea! A 404 forerunner?

At least try it or even go as far as breaking it in before sending off to be reknotted, might be a gem.

Not a Unichem sticker... but a Unichem logo on it... I had one exactly the same - bust the handle getting the knot out though
