Haarumph! 

BTW, I've got a couple of dozen #4 RJ100s for sale at some place at some time.
Might be the PATINA 2016 tailgate, where I'll be undercutting Reynolds' prices.
And to tell the truth, I don't even remember if I found that #4 RJ100 Made in
England (the original to the set which I snapped, donchaknow.).

Speaking of Price, where is he?

Just HAD to have the one with every tiny detail of the marking JUST SO.  I must
have bird-doged a thousand for him, only to have his rising ire explain it
wasn't JUST SO. I know, it must puzzle you to think that there is a Galoot
somewhere named Tom who is curmudgeonly, but it happens.

I will probably sell it at PATINA 2016.
