Congrats Mark !!
I was following that piece, but earlier in the day was successful on a piece for my US Colonial
collection from a Stack's online
auction so I
had to let it go. Glad you got it!
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of those "archaic bee"
style trites coming up for sale/auction recently, all with the same surface characteristics and
planchet fabric. I have to assume that a
hoard was found and is being dispersed via various
auction outlets.
