Clark,
Again, thanks. I should have a number of pictures to contribute that I
don't see on your website (including an Esso drum once I get it!). The
dutch bricks, which sold for a lot--I was outbid at the last minute)
included "Banegard" "Falck" "Kobmand" and many others in all sorts of colors
and so on. I have narrowed my wish list down to the following: "KLM",
"Feuerwehr", "Karstadt", "Falck" and the italian bricks. Oh, number 1 on my
wish list is the Lufthansa signs (were these stickers or engraved bricks?)
LMK if you see any of these for sale. BTW, how would I get pictures to you
of bricks (I'm not that computer savvy)?
Warmest regards,
Robert
