Hello HSD,

Man, now there's a chest-o-glass. Are you gonna take some of those guys out & treat us to some show & tell? Please, will'ya, huh?

I think I see some painted / gilded beauties that I sure would like to see lots more of, to say nothing of learning the story on how you came upon them...

Hey HSD,

Please do take some natural light photos of these guys, and highlight the gilding, the neck and lip treatment. Show us the pontils. I wanna see close ups of everything. Don't forget the tumblers...

So do you think these belonged to a British officer? Got any provenance goin on?

I believe the gilded ones are of Bohemian origin. Baron Stiegel would approve if he could get a better look at em...

Will do Surf ! I will get better photos of them in a day or two. Been really swamped lately with other things going on. I will keep you updated in a day or two and if your friend is coming by the Fredericksburg/Stafford area soon and wants too stop by downtown Fredericksburg and come by the shop and look at this he is more than welcome too... Just have too bring it up from the basement!
