Huck Finn packed this one

[JLF]

When I read the title of this thread my first thought was…. Animal furs instead of bubble wrap!

Did the contents survive?

The US post office will still take packages tied with twine. Go try that at the UPS counter and see what happens.

Around 1983 A friend mailed me a coconut from Hawaii, just wrote a note and the address + stamp on the husk. The message said, "Send more beer and ice, don't tell mom". A friend of ours has a coconut on display that was mailed home by a relative from Hawaii during WWII. Has a very faded sunset with palm trees and hula dancers on it.

Yikers!!
I wonder, did those fenders start out that way or did he tweak them so they would fit in the box he found?!?
Another of those "Not my problem" cases...

I'd be seeing a lot more red than what's on that bike!

I have definitely gotten high-rise bars packed just like this before. I once sent Torrington Texas bars like this because I could not find a box, it is definitely an awkward size box. To watch the PO clerk try and measure this out and weigh it is interesting to see.
