I had to make an exception to my usual "never drill your own holes" rule in this case, so I added a little ventilation. Now they can breathe a lot better, and they swing around and jingle-jangle so nicely when I walk around.
Siam is now Thailand (same country name was changed in 1932 when the government was changed to a Constitutional Monarchy) and they do still have a King. King Rama IX who is a decendant of the Siamese Kings.
The set has been sold privately at least twice, and sold at auction at least twice as well.

Hey, what are you laughing at?
I spend millions of bucks making my vest look nice, and you laugh?
I'll have you know that the 1804 dollar looks great on there, and the other coins, too. I put the gold ones on my hat.
They even gave me the cigar box they came in.
<< <i> Was the King of Siam Proof set ever sold or auctioned off? >>
Yes or the King of Siam would still own it.

I'll bet you he has more than a couple of biggies.....

Actually, if memory serves correctly, he gave the set away - did not sell it or auction it.
