60's Ludwig Suprise

Posts: 58 Threads: 27

I love reading stories on here about crazy CL finds.

Recently got this "Black re-wrapped" kit off CL and thought I'd share in my own suprise.

Yep, All green sparkle, covered in black contact paper for the last 30yrs.

Got them from the original owner who's parents bought them for him when he was a kid in the late 60's. He wrapped them beacuse he was embarressed to have a green sparkle kit in the 80's. HA!

A co-worker put that Bonham pic up, and said " It better look like this when you're done!"
