[QUOTE="ola402, post: 13707, member: 182"]Sometimes this business can get real coincidental so I'll ask "has this ever happened to you?" I went to a live auction this week and bought a Service for 12 of Haviland all white china in the Torse pattern with the marks from the 50s-60s. Really lovely and I wish I could keep it for myself, but I digress . . .
