Wow, Selcuk! I think you've just won the challenge! That is the most obscure
(not necessarily the most rare) piece anyone has pointed me to yet. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer. Unless the images you offer are different from or in
addition to those already accessible through LUGNET or Brickshelf, I will
pass for now.

I have plans to make scans of all the pieces in my collection. That is, of
course, if I ever have extra time separate from gathering and building. My
gathering has definitely increased since I discovered LUGNET, eBay and
Brickbay. And my building has increased since discovering LUGNET and
Brickshelf. I expect to catch up in the next six months to a year - with
luck ;-)
