Not surprised, B n J hasn’t been in my house for awhile now, looks to be forever now!! Absolutely ridiculous!!
Haven't bought BNJ in years. Overpriced, small quantity, not-natural, and not that good. Turkey Hill Natural is what we typically buy that is easy to obtain:

And I no longer patronize 'woke' companies. Sell me a good product and not your politics. BNJ focuses on the later.

How about this jet; anybody remember it
First flown on September 4, 1957, the legendary JetStar was designed for a USAF requirement for a small jet transport. When the USAF abandoned these specs, Lockheed pushed ahead to develop what became the first large jet for the corporate market. Lockheed was out on a limb with this exotic and expensive pioneer project, but pushed on to manufacture some 204 aircraft.
The JetStar became a favorite of many entertainment legends, including the likes of Howard Hughes, Bob Hope and Elvis Presley. Presley dubbed his “The Hound Dog”. Howard Hughes personally piloted his JetStar around the world. Howard Hughes owned several keeping them in a hangar at Lockheed in Marietta, GA. The JetStar even made it onto the silver screen as **** Galore’s jet in the James Bond classic Goldfinger.
_____________________________________________________________________I worked for Lockheed for four years beginning in 1970. I worked in the C-5 Avionics group that had it's own security gate for entry. It was about a 50-yard walk outside from the entry gate to the building door.______________________________________________________________________
The reason I posted the pictures of the JetStar is every day I could glance to my right about 100 yards beyond the building door and see one of Howard Hughes's JetStars. This plane was outside of the hanger. The plane was guarded 24 hours a day by Howard Hughes personnel - one guard in small glass shack. I do not believe there were other JetStars owned by Hughes in the hanger during this time.
In December 2019 the last flying Lockheed L-1329 JetStar retired to the Marietta Aviation History and Technology Center near Atlanta. The JetStar would have a prominent history in Canada as the country’s first corporate jet, and the first civil jet operated by the federal government.

Not into stamps, but Googled this. It appears that the Orangeburg coil should have only vertical perforations. Yours looks like it’s a sheet.

Crap. Looks like you are right. Thought I had a Krell Amp sitting here. Bummer! -
Yeah, that’s too bad. Those are apparently very rare stamps!

Looks like there were vertical and horizontal coils. Both rare. But that third side of perforation killed it.

Has anybody seen her?
Cute as she can be
She's got a cue ball head
And, it's made out of lead
But, she's alright with me
