Here's hoping it goes to a good home!

It's described as weighing 88.5 tons. That's either metric tons (2200 lbs) or long tons (2240 lbs): either way, a tad under 100 U.S. tons (=short tons, 2000 lbs). Is it a bit lighter than domestic S3?

That's about right

198,000 lbs is just about spot-on for an S-1 for American service.

I like the line that says-"No postage needed"
I wonder if it still has its 539 in it?
