    Struck-through grease? That’s what I assumed. I fought w/ myself, many times, on whether I should cut it free for a better examination and ultimately decided to just leave it be.

    On the contrary, Google is not your friend.

    If grease (which it presumably was) it must have been loaded with something like sand or metal filings or grit of some kind.

    You can only cut it out of the packaging once - you can't put it back in. I'd leave it as is.

    I absolutely agree, I’ve had it for three years and it’ll remain intact - probably ‘till I’m teats-up.

    Plan to keep it in the original packaging for the foreseeable future.

    Yes, it is.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    I once had one with a blank planchet. I have no idea where it is now.
