Thanks, guys.
Nick....Nothing getting past you.....
All I have to do is wipe it down (nice
original patina), fill it, oil it, choose
a burner, and away we go, I hope.
Hero.....You have good eyes. We used sell
crystals, mineral specimens, and all sorts
of worked stones at New York city street fairs
and flea markets. Used to be fun (mostly),
but not now and we have a rock shop load of
stuff in the garage and basement, leave aside
our own personal stash. Any time you want to
swap rocks for steam engines, let me know!
Comics and MARX trains, too! Can't take it
with me.
FYI....it is Brazilian Amethyst. I added a
couple of pix - one w/steamers.
Happy trails,
Wayne
