Re: Congress 88's
Those are some great acquisitions. Congratulations on those beauties.
This is the only Case Congress I have and it's just a half Congress but with our current political situation, I think that might be better than a full Congress.

I have a USA 5488 as well, the mark side is about the same but the pile side is gnarly.
