I bought them on eBay.
I received over 50 and these were in pretty good shape.
The rest are soaking in olive oil.

Don,
My computer crashed and I'm on a borrowed laptop.
I will have to re-take the photos when I get my computer up and running again.

Perhaps in the meantime, the photos posted can be saved to your pictures and enlarged?
I'm just not that computer smart...


Best Wishes,

Scott

Don,
Thanks!

Soon I hope to learn more about the others I have soaking.

Is there a website that could help me with identifications?

Best,

Scott
