[SEL] Babbitrite

[Alan]

Anyone here want a three foot stack of NOS asbestos siding shingles?Really they are still in what is left of the original; wrappers.My dad's health was failing him as he completed the "new" house so he never got around to putting up the rest of the siding on what was left of the old two story farm house he tore down to build the new one in 1957. There are plenty houses around here that still have that asbestos siding on them.There used to be a guy here that would pay $0.50 each for used ones.Alan in Michigan

Babbitrite did contain asbestos.. 40+ years ago. Just like any number of 
other items from the same time period. The union wanted an easy payday 
and sent in a sample of OLD material and sent lawyers after the company.
California actually used the same "study" as an example of a company 
that hid the ingredients of a product simply because they were liars and 
greedy.
