I used to give Christmas presents to my best customers and in 2000, these were my choice with another model, the "egg of peace" which I will also put in auction.

Please look at the photos and ask any question you might have

Price wise, I see some rare ones on other sites which sell individually for around $100 and prices go down to around $35 for used ones. I want to sell the entire collection (170 dove page markers)
