After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I wish these special objects a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so they will be preserved for the distant future as well.
I will ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.
