Alan Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not exactly "large" (they are 15/16" dia.) - but I got these from Roger Hardy at the New Philly show earlier this month. They came from an Akro employee's basement. Eye candy in any case. (Unfortunately, I have chosen to remove this content due to unchecked behaviors by others on this board.
