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.

Thanks Craig,

Yes I enjoy looking at your collection of these as well. This one reminds me of a gold tooth.

Sorry I’ll try it. Or maybe I should just link to the gallery?
