[mpa] Ensign-Bickford Time Fuse

[Lee Bussy]

I have what's supposed to be 200' of Ensign-Bickford time fuse.  I did not
unroll it but I estimated at 245' so I feel good about saying there's
200'.  This is "Historically Significant" fuse, some of the last made in
the US I'm guessing.  I don't know whether it's worth more as time fuse or
as a pyro collector's item.  Anyway, it's been on the shelf for a few
years.  I purchased it from Mike Bradash who is a lot of things but he's
not dishonest so I am comfortable with its provenance.

When I bought it, it smelled like an old cave.  It still smells like an old
cave.  I'd stop short of saying it smells like mold.  It does not have
visible mold on the surface, no water stains that I can see.  It did have
some specs here and there in the package that are verified (ouch) as BP and
not something else.  It was stored dry and in a climate controlled magazine.

Anyway, I'd rather see someone either appreciate or even use it so someone
make me a decent offer.  The current Chinese stuff would be ~$100 for this
length if I remember correctly so ... whatever works for you works for me.

I'd prefer one of you get it rather than someone on Passhole so ... speak
up.  :)
