Congratulations SScrooge!
Not a bad thing to have in one's collection, if you like that sort of thing.

I know I do. And how.

Marc,

I think that we all would not be disappointed if you would share some pics of one of your Bernstein-MK-issues here.

It is quite remarkable how much effort they took within the Third Reich to let a book become a piece of art!

Thanks guys this was brought back by a captain Hickman from appleton manor he later became the director of Hickmans steelworks one of the largest steel companys in the uk,the guy i got it from purchased it from an auction at the manor approx 15 years ago, its nice to know a bit of history on it, cheers Dave

Very, very nice.

[Mr. Scratch]

Very nice. Has it been refinished at some point? It is darker than I would expect, and without any visible wear. There is a spot on the bottom that looks like oil stain. Given the repair work that has been done, I wonder if the woodworker didn't go a step or two further.

Either way, I envy you. If I could own any SS item (within reason) I'd want one of these.

[Robin Lumsden]

Great item Dave!

Mr. Scratch.

Could be the box has been treated with some of this.............

[sscrooge]

me being a bit of a scrooge try to keep the lights at a minimum and all my lights are energy saving bulbs thats why it looks darker than it actually is and hasnt been refinished the repair is a split that has just been glued , heres a lighter pic, cheers Dave
