... i have always wondered why some are still around in decent shape, and otheres just go brittle and break apart. i picked up an old friend the another night, a french made contrex ... and poof, it just shattered. this one was always kept indoors. some others in the light, just split apart. i hesitate to look up pvc (or whatever other plastics search term on the net) but maybe there's a reason the old folks "back in the day" had metal. or was that just as bad in another way ?
