I may have the new record for delayed mail with the USPS. Art's in Hillsboro Missouri restores a Funken signed Pigeon grade for me. I send him a check on February 10th for the work. A month later I have to give them a credit card because the check never shows up. Today Art's returns the check, via US mail, to me that they just received in the last few days; A full six months after I sent it to them. Unbelievable!
