To think that a lot of this stuff was discarded and sent to the bin less than 20-years ago.

There's virtually nothing (rare) left in Paris; all of the old club locations have been scoured by investors and nothing or very little has been found after Caro... and what I was gifted years ago by some casino owners who had a piece or two back then. The shops are constantly being worked over and very few of them are using eBay agents and, as I said; Investors bought up most of the known rare MOP inventories and, it's just pot luck when an American antique dealer finds MOP... Most of what's being offered via eBay is bottom-of-the-barrel remnants and in poor condition... and the two of the three MOP plaques that Eisenstadt and I bought from the Caro Collectio and sold by Potter & Potter will never be offered again; especially my third piece.

I'm a buyer for either this case or one like it (though not empty ).

...and, again; I cannot stop thanking those who helped make the Trouville/CGT deal.possibe -- and a 3-night delivery speed. I could not have done it alone.
