Gentlemen,
These are not losses, and are never mistakes unless we repeat them. Because you cannot buy the knowledge each of these pieces brought you about antiques... and human nature (ours , and others')... for any money.
They're like scars really-- we endeavor to keep them covered if possible and flinch if a chum should twit us about them. Cheers to every Forum member who for better or worse, essayed a purchase this year.
