I've got some more I want to post but the descriptions must be done first. I force myself to complete those before allowing myself to move on to the next...if i didn't, I'd have a lot of pics with absolutely no descriptions.

This little guy above is a 'lesser' piece of Goetz' but I'll be happy to take anything from this past auction where Goetz pieces were hammering at 600-3200 euros a piece. With the economy the way it is and the exchange rate from $=E, it is a good time to hunker down and cherry pick the lesser pieces to fill in the holes.
