<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 3242686, member: 13464"]Sorry I know I'm very late to the party on this one! But I was so excited when I saw it! I got one for Christmas back about 1968... I used it ALOT! LOL.. enameled dozens of pennies....and heated up lots of marbles to make them craze. Unfortunately, no one told me to let the enameled item cool off naturally, although I suppose it was in the directions - but what kid ever reads directions? I had a lot of fun with it... never burned the house down! I don't even remember being burned! I can't remember my folks ever being around. In fact, I use to take it to the little girls house a few doors down that I baby sat at. She was probably 8 or 10 and I was probably about 15. I believe I still have it down in the basement somewhere... I expect it still works. My art interests have led me other places; but who knows...maybe some day I'll introduce my grands to it. I bet one could buy on line supplies these days... Thanks for the memories!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheerio Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
