This popped up in my saved Western Electric search. I do not know if it is actually from the exchange but it is ver cool. Also very high priced.

That worked.

Yes. I changed it to what I originally wanted to post but I cannot add a picture.

Just discovered that there is a "Quick Reply" box (which does not allow attachments), there is a box above the Quick Reply box that says "User actions" and if clicked on opens a menu with "Reply." Clicking on "Reply" replaced the Quick Reply box with a "full" reply box which has the "attachment" option to add images.
