<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9799996, member: 79705&quot;]Found a thing I thought I would never add to my collection. Of course the previous owner took 2 very far away and blurry photos.

Circa 1860-80-ish? They&#039;re beautifully carved and I&#039;ve been jealous of the fine pieces you all have. I just figured it was going to take a long time for me to find one, let alone one I could afford...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
