    Hey guys, I know this is way off of the wall, but I’ve contacted PR and customer service with no luck. I recently lost an item produced by your company in 1995 that was given to me by my grandma and I’ve had ever since. It’s been the most important item in my life growing up and ever since, and I recently lost it during a trip to the hospital. I need to know if there is any way I can get information on this product or if I can possibly have you guys produce another (I’d pay through the nose for one at this point). Please respond or email me and I can send more pictures or information. Some kind of reply would make my day, either from you, costumer service, anyone.
