Post the photos HERE...i'm sure we would ALL like to see them...and Willem will see them here too.

David, there are living more Willems in the Netherlands.

Danny is not reffering to asomotif. But I guess the other Willem is lurking too once in a while.

Unfortunately I don't have pics. I was quick at a real old dusty antique gallery. I have seen the lantaka's lying behind a sideboard. I couldn't reach for the lantaka's to give it a closer look, but it looked like they had nice old patina.
I had very little time because I was there for other business

, of which I will post pictures when I have them.

Anyone know anything about books??

Maurice

Well, of course there are Maurice, but given the context is it really surprising that i would assume Danny meant "our" Willem?

I would think that if you are truly interested in these lantakas that you will return to the shop and ask for a closer look. You should get some photos then and post them. I think it would be really hard to comment without seeing them.

nope, Danny means another Willem.
Let's say "Big Willem"

I have no knowledge of lantaka's at all.
i already PM -ed Maurice.

In that case it would be nice if Maurice would post the pictures and the comments of "Big Willem" as well.
After all we all are very curious

Henk, I am curious too. Because when it is real old and not of the fake ones, I would like to have one of them in my collection. I am not sure if I am able to take pictures there. I will go after the holidays and see what I can do to provide photo's.
I will send the other Willem an email if he knows books of lantaka's. I will let you know.
