I have not heard from Rob about this. If this is recognised, then I am happy to consider putting in an offer.

Thankyou very much Shawn. Hope there are plans for display in Chambers St.

Did anything ever come of the following story I am wondering. Was it part of the 1830 fall or did it turn out to be a new find or an m.w.?
