Mantles Still Available in US

[GRAHNK@aol.com]

Nope, radioactive mantles are still available in the US.  I bought one last
year while on vacation at a sporting goods store in Iron River Michigan.  The
owner told me he sells quite a lot of the Mantles.   This was the rigid
variety that are commonly used in hunting camps.  The product is from American
Wick in Morris Illinois and the packaging does contain a radioactive material
warning...the actual mantle is manufactured in Malta.
