<p>[QUOTE="Torkel Oftedal, post: 481615, member: 9653"]Again many great ideas to investigate here. I think i can share the story where it is coming from, as we traded a lot in the 1970's with an antique dealer in UK named Mike Barnet (or Barnet) - who had stalls in Portobello but also was active around the markets. I remember visiting him close to Ipswich, but forgive me if my memory is dim here, i was just a kid at the time. Mike was a wheeler/dealer, who passed away many years ago, but if anyone know him, at least you know the "origin" in the UK. We bought most of our stuff through him - as he was married to my mothers best friend, who was Norwegian, but obviously all his advises was not always good. Not that i blame him, times are changing too, and an adise given 40 years ago may not hold up value vice - others do, agree? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
