Default Wheeler Wilson 8 Rufflers

Hey folks,

I made a stop at Cathy's this weekend and she had just found these beauties.

I am working out a deal for one, but whatever the deal works out to be, one component is that "I" get to clean them both. hehe

So, here they are. Once "as is" and one in process of cleaning.
