I write, however, because I was surprised to get it from Europe … Although an American, almost all my early family were Huguenots … In fact, my relative, Jan C. is noted as the earliest C. to have arrived in N. America (in 1636, I think) … ”

The character of the objects presented here, highly individual or even unique in many cases, makes it hardly helpful to quote a price in every case. For quite irrespective of this, undifferentiating comparison leads to misinformation. But that is just contrary to the expectations we make to the internet. In these cases please fax for a complete description along with the price. And, if necessary, ask for all the details elsewhere, too. This way you will not simply buy cheap but really worth its money. A maxim having proved to be true for myself on and on. For by now fifty years! It’s the best advice I can pass on to you.
