<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 735554, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I almost bought a 7 ft vase back in the late 1960s. It was recovered from a robbery from 1956. The insurance company wanted 725 dollars for it, I hemmed and debated about for a week. Finally made up my mind to buy it. Went to the place where it was being sold.
