Went to the wrecking yard - part 2

I found and carefully removed this knowing they're hard to find but ultimately left it in the yard as it was pretty rough around the edges. After having slept on it, I'm wondering if I should have brought it home.

What do you guys think?

I think it's only valuable if it's in good condition. I threw mine away. It was complete, but had been baked in the sun. As soon as I touched it it broke into pieces.

You're right, this one was pretty brittle too, I guess that's why I left it. At least I can say I've seen one now and have a good idea of the demensions.

YES, you should have brought it home. i'm guessing the wrecking yard would not charge you that much. It could not have been that brittle if you got it out in one piece. Whatever it's condition, it's better than most. I'd sure like to have it. Is it still available?

I'll bet it's right where I left it and you're right, I'm pretty sure that would be a no charge item. I'll try to swing back out there and pick it up.
