Default Time travel

Just for the pure fun of it:
Here is the book published in 1992 and bought " At a London auction house 30 years ago"

We should all travel to Tampa to learn the art of time travel

Default good keris...

Gee... sometime back, I happened to get a 'jewel' among the items [ link ].
This old Malay Peninsular keris was described as Balinese...

Ariel, that book is a good book, indeed.

I have it already: very good. Dr. Figiel was from Detroit. I am only sorry I got smart (smarter?) too late to meet him.

Ariel

The buyer states (The majority of purchases were made in the 1960's-80's) that does not mean everything he sells was collected 30 years ago. He sometimes has some nice things for sale but he over embelishes his descriptions on certain items and has no clue to their real market value.
