      The Merryweather, what a great name by the way, reminded me of a post from 2010, when I was shocked to hear from Romano in Pakistan, about a 1912 Merryweather that had been stored for 50 years in a fire station in Karachi http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/when-you-think-about-barn-find-fire.html
