Very nice . Are you the one selling it ? What is the present bid ? Would like to have it . Is there any
way someone in the US could bid on it ? Through a surrogate maybe ?

Oh, OK, I can see it now. It looked like something round and black. I even thought it might be a cannon ball! :-[ Very interesting now that I know what it is. Monty
