I was just relating my long experience in trading collector jokes and jargon.

Sorry. It came off (to me) as rude.

Here is another example using the word 'lucky' and Phonograph needles. Although clearly newer and a different company.

Well it arrived in one piece and after some careful cleaning and gluing....I even made some dummy envelopes to make the board look full.

As expected, the needles are garbage. These are Japanese made.

looks nice.

perhaps the trade name was inspired by Bing Crosby's autobiography:
