I would love to have that! The seller has had a lot of nice pieces the past couple years...
Yes he does, I don't believe most sell, but he has a really good eye.
What are you thinking Bruce? He has a lot to choose from, he's in southern Michigan. Sounds like a road trip to me.
Lol...I don't know how far Grosse Point is from Mio. Mi.
But it's about 5 hrs from me. 😊

Maybe a combo deal could be worked out!?!?

Same seller has a number of high end steam engines on offer, also has some very nice chronometers and rugs as well.
