Hello thanks for the reply to my visitor message, i have some books that relate to Queen Victoria, published during her reign, but the remaining old books are relating to mechanical items, transport mainly but published late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds, nothing as classic as your item.
I always marvel at how people in olden times made such lovely items, we seem to have good technical ability, but are loosing out on old crafts and skills, at least here in the uk.
If you are ok with it, i would like to send communications similar to this in pm's rather than visitor messages.Its not a problem if you say no, but i thought it best to ask first.
