<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnnycb09, post: 425767, member: 27&quot;]I love the matchbooks story ! Many moons ago,I had a set of 3 figurines of an 18th century gentleman and lady sitting at a table playing cards that was given to me by a long gone ex. I carried those things around for many years,then a roommate decided to steal them (along with a bunch of other stuff) .I was devastated because i truly loved them. Fast forward to about a decade ago,and I was perusing ebay when I ran across a figurine that looked exactly like the one I had. I immediately bought it and when it arrived I was stunned to find pencil marks on the bottom,just like mine had ! I asked the seller where she got it and she said her mother had bought it in,get this,florida ! I asked about it on here and was told probably early 20th century,probably German. I know the odds are its probably not the one I lost,but the coincidences sure point to maybe.Id love to complete the set again,but a 1000 searches later...</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/cSRJPux.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/DSPRdhp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
