The by yearly gathering of the Holy Grail Club.

[Blitz]

It's been a while since our last gathering and I thought it would be nice to show off some glitter and old finesse and see if we have any new members to welcome.. Here is the pride of my collection and my admission to the club. Enjoy and please share yours, as I know I'm not alone in this club..

Antti,

awesome Great piece! From when do you think, it is? If i should make a guess, i would say, 1840-1850, but its really not more than a guess.

Congrats, mate.

It's actually a 1830 piece, based on the research that I've made and the help i got before and after i got this beauty.
Thank you old friend. I hope she doesn't have to be alone here for a long time though..

WOW, Bobby!

I don't think I've ever seen one with the 8-part frame, other than in books. I do like it.. Thanks Bobby and George.

The Club is on..


Ps. That doc is really something!
