Today I had Christmas a couple days early, with the best 'mail-day' of the year.
Always a gamble to buy things 'in-hand unseen', but got lucky with these two
recently, and both showed up today. Think they're my best buys of the year.
Will be taking better photos soon. Too late for natural light today.
Here's a truly spectacular Jabo Blood Viper (or Cobra or Cyclone) and an
Akro 'Three Toed Nappy", and if you've never heard of those you're not alone.
(Although Edna probably has!) The etched rings you see around the inward-
slanting rim go all the way down the outside. And the tiny amber glows at the
very tips of the 'toes' (what a poet!) are really there. Like Moonie glass.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Bob
