First time I have heard of an Italian OSV being seen in this area, their Rates must be cheap. The old Pacamac was indeed handy, G.P.O. Elastic Bands were about the best, cheap as well as the Postmen used to throw them away
In today's world they would have to have a designer label on the Pacamac which would cost more to produce than the Pacamac. You can still get a flimsy Pacamac if you do a boat trip to Niagara Falls.
