Could it be #586? (Perf 10)
Don't know. How do I find out?
586 is preforated 10 on all sides, 557C is perforated 10 on only the top or bottom.
Thank you. It's a 586.
Sharyn, Bummer....I think I was hoping it was 557c almost as much as you were....! That would have been awesome! Randy

Randy, If they were legitimate (I have 4), I was going to drop them into a Salvation Army kettle. (I've always wanted to do something large at Christmas.) Thanks once again, Tamu.
