Very much following-up from
the bunker post further down, this is the other bunker I mentioned on that occasion, although when it turned-up during the move it proved a surprise to me, as it's marked
Giant, albeit faintly!
This is the beast as described last time, I'd forgotten they replaced the 'mouth' with a nose! Given that the whole back was open to the world, the addition of a small doorway in full view of the enemy was an odd move, but it may have been after a call from the lawyers at Marx? Somehow, I doubt it!
The marking itself is not clear, so I've enhanced it below with a bit of contrast and shadow manipulation, but basically it's very different to the clear GIANT ⓟ marks of other Giant output, and similar feint Giant marks appear in the rear of the rumps of some 'Smoothie' horses, usually connected to clearly non-Giant sets/output, so it could be a true piece of 2nd generation piracy?

It would be clearer, if it was clearer, if you know what I mean! It's a largish mark in a distinctive font, but just barely kissing the mould-tool, or even rubbed-off with a driver-mounted wire-brush?
While the HONGKONG isn't typical for Giant, and is to be found on the inside flanks of a lot of non-Giant 'Mexican Small' horses, particularly the ones pulling late version wagons?
===============================================================
But is it Giant
Well . . . (sucks through teeth) . . . maybe, it says it is, but the weakness of the mark, and it's association with the apparent Giant marks on non-Giant output leaves a question mark over it, until I can positively ID one in a sealed set?
And if it turns out to be Giant, we'll have to have G1 and G2, if not; this will have to be the C3 copy?

I got a weird demand to accept Google-doc cookies just now, which I've never got before, and I tried importing them through the home blog and got the same message there, consequently I copied and pasted them into the window, instead of importing them in the normal way and now don't know where they are hosted, on Blogger or on my desktop? They may disappear? And I'll have to have a rethink and sign-up to some other online crap I don't want to?
