Hi all.
I think an explanation of all the common abbreviations (NOS, NIB etc. [PITA
] and others) would help us non-native speakers very much. Sometime I can imagine what the meaning should be but sometimes it's quite difficult.
Thanks very much from Germany.
Erwin.

Rim Rash is evident on some NOS / NIB lanterns, too. Result of decades of storage and being moved from shelf to shelf...
