Spyder, you are correct, it is a Utica. I'll have to look into how to "shine it up" because I'd like to have it looking good. Unfortunately, the scales aren't in the greatest shape, but considering I found it in an antique shop in the ghetto part of a North Dakota town, I guess I can't complain.
Just an educated guess, when I saw your occupation. I live in Bemidji. I do pipeline work, so I have worked that entire Hwy 2 corridor all the way across the state.
Oh... I thought I was being clever and that people would assume my occupation was a joke. I didn't expect anyone to connect the dots and realize it was for real. I'm surprised to run into another North Dakotan my first day on the forum. Greetings!
