We used to make things in this country; #330


Here's a craft item from the past, a cast statuette of a generic hockey player, paint it to look like your favorite! Bobby Orr!, Stan Makita! How Canadian can you get.
  I suspect it's a polyester resin with a talc fill. The name Polytal is a commercial name for talc. Not surprisingly, the company seems to be long gone.

  5. I am terribly confused by the exchange between Vector W. and Mr. G. I googled the address too, and all I got was a photo of an empty country two-lane. (Is it just me?)
