Wonder Collector, this auction is for you.
Happy bidding to all.
As with all my items, a good cleaning is advisable to restore the panache they deserve.

No shipping outside the EU; if you are outside the European Union you may bid on one of my lots, but no claims will be possible in case of problems during transport. Due to the new import/export regulations to the USA there will be no shipping to that country.
Professional, careful shipping, with signature required and insurance.
