12A54 Posted July 13, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2017 Wow, as an M1 tanker I think that is a pretty cool souvenir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted July 14, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2017 Really cool item. I wonder what the story is, As far as I've heard, Abrams are not taken out of service, just rebuilt/upgraded in Lima, OH. I wonder if it was removed during an upgrade? I would have purchased it in a heart beat! Thanks for posting it. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thought was it could have been a casualty of desert shield/storm. That is only a thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12A54 Posted July 14, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2017 Manufacture date is several months after the Gulf War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 14, 2017 Manufacture date is several months after the Gulf War. The tag reads made November of 91. That would be three years into the Bush one presidency. I just looked up the date...my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
