I was told by the seller that was their origin, but I take sellers' tales with a grain of salt. Or teaspoon. I would appreciate some authentication or debunking, either way. From what I have learned, new designs and marketing went haywire in the latter days when know-nothing consultants were brought in by the owner. Some that we retrospectively think would have been a hit never made it to production and some relative flops that I refer to as "space debris" did. I always appreciate your input Eric.
