Just received an interesting Albert Collis artifact...

I purchased a Collis restrike from an individual a few months ago. The seller mailed this to me and I received it today. This was totally unexpected. Has anyone else ever seen one of these?

Very cool LB. I've never seen one.

Yes, I've owned two - one was very badly ripped and torn and the other had been folded multiple time to fit in a plastic snaplok case and was separating at the seams. I recall at least one in a Kirtley auction back when and another in a Slawsky(?) or Richard Mitchell(?) auction a number of years ago. I've also seen a couple on bourse floors with the restrikes that were held in very high esteem by the owners.

Documentation such as that is always a plus when selling items. Cheers, RickO
