Bought this a few moments ago. Does it count for this week's stash? image

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Thanks, MJ!

    That set of pieces is quite rare gsa1fan. But it also had some pretty bad cleaning back in the day. You can make the comparison to a cleaned coin--that dark patina was intentional and aged even darker over the last century. Someone took brasso to that set at one point, and it still sold for nearly $10k!


    Here's our companion piece to the new one we just bought:
