Collectible "Devil's Highway" Midland Bean Co. 100 lb. pinto bean bag

USD 45.00 USD
SKU: PAdh69vO
Condition: Used

This is a vintage, no-longer available 100 lb. pinto bean bag from Midland Bean Co., Dove Creek, CO. It shows the old "666" Devil's Highway number, which no longer exists. The nimrods who run Colorado state government had it renumbered to 491 so some snowflake from Connecticut wouldn't experience a microaggression. See jpeg #4 from my old highway atlas that verifies that yes, indeed, 666 used to be the highway number, and I've driven it more times than I can count. This isn't a work of art (although that is in the eye of the beholder I guess) so the numbers kind of bleed together. I attempted to remove the wrinkles, first by laying heavy ammo boxes (full of lead) on top of them for two days. It resisted this effort. Then I just tried to iron them out (put a towel over it first, burlap is plant fiber and delicate and don't use steam) and they resisted this effort. They show some resilience, although they aren't overly oppressive. The bag is clean, without rips/tears or objectionable odors. I didn't know until I turned it around that the Latin designation for the pinto bean is Phaseolus Vulgaris. "Suitable For Framing" as the old Three Dog Night album said...
