Any consensus on this item?

http://cgi.ebay.com/REAL-DEAL-ANTIQUE-PENAL-FARM-BALL-AND-CHAIN-CAST-IRON_W0QQitemZ310023594776

The seller claims it is from a penal farm.

is it likely to be the "REAL DEAL" as the seller claims or just a ball and ring used for a counter weight at some time in the past?

shipping is "OUTTASIGHT" ...

Now, that's something. I couldn't see the postage for this Jike though.

do you mean Yikes ?

He meant Joke. Look at your keyboard. Now what is the postage for this Jike?

The postage / handling / insurance cost is hidden
down at the bottom of the page,

$40.00 to lower 48

I messaged the seller asking if they knew it could
be sent USPS priority flat rate box for $8.95,

I got no response..

Jikes need a lot of bubble wrap. More people are hurt by Jikes than the combined accident rate of canary farming each year.

What have you been smokin?
