So I'm currently at work so a full review and more pictures will follow later.
Just a bit of fun to start. I received a rather snazzy parcel yesterday, any guesses what's in there?
P.S those of you who know please don't ruin it ;)

Looks like runs!
Or a giraffe.
-
From the title and the grip - Hunts County Glory?
-
No giraffes and possibly a red herring (of sorts) in the title :)
-
It's a G-Ram carpet sweeper!!!!
-
yeah looks like a hoover
but if it ......is....a hunts county glory it's one of the best shaped bats ever made
i'd have one is a heartbeat. County...massively under rated batmaker.
-
With all the love the Glory is getting I feel like I've let the forum down...

Had one of these years back. Lovely bat these.
-
As you can see from the above pictures the bat hadn't exactly been well looked after.
After a bit of time out in the garage I had it looking a bit less abused. This was all done with hand sanding and a bit of linseed oil.

That weight shown is with 1.5 grips applied. I plan to sand the toe tonight, seal the feathering and apply a scuff sheet. I expect it will finish around 2lb10 when I've finished
-
just needs a little love and now it looks excellent again
-
Anyone fancy a guess at what I paid for the whole bundle?
I'll bee doing a proper review on the bat, pads and gloves over the next couple of days.

Beautiful looking butterfly, glad its getting a bit of TLC.

I'm guessing its from eBay? I somehow seem to have missed it if it was, I'm going to guess around the £65 mark for the lot
-
I'm going with 40 for the lot?
-
Chris is correct! £65 posted for the bundle. I thought it was a good price
-
So no carpet sweeper then?
Bah!

It was a steam mop box, I was almost disappointed there was only cricket kit in there, as a free steam mop would have been my Mum's birthday present sorted...
