I found one of those gordonia things a while back and couldn't really find anything on the web about it. The other night Roy found one (of many over the years) and mentioned they are a condom tin from way back in the day! And they were silk? or something too! Roy will chip in with the exact story. I'm sure he knows from research not actual experience with them hehehe
There's another to find and I'm gunna find it!
