Title: Double shot photos?
Post by: ander on Mon, 20 July 2015, 18:52:07

Hey guys,

I was just wondering: Has anyone ever posted photos of some double-shot legends before the caps were molded around them? I think it'd be fascinating to see some of those. Of course you'd probably have to work at a key factory to take any of them. – A.

There's plenty of examples in the crap bags.
