Can't let this magnificent thread die, as I have been wanting to contribute forever. 3 straight weeks of business travel are finally behind me, so lots of images are on the way...

Here's more...

* 1929 Athletics World Champions Lamp (just acquired!)
* A terrific 1911 Panorama Composite of Connie Mack's A's
* The Chein Bank, which is always found in dreadful condition (it took me over 6 years to find one that was free of dents and abraisions)
