    The only pictures of these I've ever seen gave no indication of scale. I had no idea they were so big. I occasionally look for them on ebay, where I'm sure I could never afford them, even if I could find one.

    Great picture, Max.

    The only one I ever saw for sale recently went to auction at Hakes in March. Brought in $4,887.50!!

    A very rare item. Possibly a Schwartz exclusive.

    John, Jack--Thanks for the comments!

    "a Schwartz exclusive"

    ...only affordable by exclusive Schwartzs (and Smythes.)

    Really a knockout - thanks, Max.
