Excelent Drdavid! Thank you for sharing that! It so good when people share knowledge & sources on these rare items I think!
What with Vandoos excelent & precise identification, my sharing of possible original names with references & your adding to the info about the more "magic" side of things its realy helped nail it down I think! {Although of course more precise knowledge, photos,storys etc. are always required by such inquiring minds as serious collecters of our ilk.}
But I am sure we will see such identfication used in futre by the few dealers & collecters who peruse this forum lucky enough to find such pieces in futre! Its often the way.
Hopefully Kurt will one day look back at this thread & see the sharing of rare knowledge his thread on his lovely& rare example started for all our benifit.
