[J. Forster]

Will Donzelli (eBay Toober) had a couple a year or so back. He might know.

He was selling them as B-24 eggs. LoL

> One kind had a short tube sticking out of the belly of

> wire was pulled up taunt to the end of the tube.
> The other kind pulled the weight up flush with the skin
> of the aircraft.
> My Question:  About how much did, or does, these
> weights weigh?  They were tear drop shaped, and
> about eight inches long, (I think).
