This exhibit won a vermeil at DC 2006

These items will be sold individually or by the page. When sold, the item will be so marked. The posting will remain so as to permit access by interested parties.

My goal is to set prices in time for the Mega show (NYC, Oct. 5-8) and they will be added from time-to-time until then.

When pages have been sold, they will be so noted here and/or on the image in italics.

Some of these items (shown in Red) have been consigned to auction. Please email me for details.

For balance lots from this collection, please scroll down. Most of these have been priced.
