Apparently, there were wooden models of 2x00s (2000s? 2100s? I don't
remember). At Stump in 1997 (the question was what year), they were
handed out to participants as prizes.
I think the story went that these had been shipped to dealers so they
would have something to show customers that would indicate the size,
etc, when the ship date was pushed back, but that might have been some
Stumperbole.
