[Healeys] Healey Watch

[tomfelts at windstream.net]

I have a small silver metal cannister of Schimmelpenninck "Swing" cigars, made in Holland.  On the back of the cannister is a photo (imbedded in the cannister) of a BJ8 dash and steering wheel with two hands on the wheel.  I've had it for a good while--never opened.  good conversation piece.
