<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 5611803, member: 10944"]Was at a sale yesterday. The sale runner after seeing that I knew a little bit about this and that broke these out. He had someone come in earlier and inquire after them. The prospective buyer asked how much. The seller could tell the buyer knew what they were but wouldn’t share. The seller said he wasn’t sure on price. The buyer made the seller promise that once he decided on a price that he would give him first chance to buy them at that price. This made the seller inclined to believe they are pretty valuable. The prospective buyer has since called back inquiring again. Seller says the buyer is a big MCM guy and so speculates they are of that era. They look like garbage almost. Like broken cast offs or some poorly made child’s toy. As soon as I type that someone will confirm they are priceless high art and that I have no taste I’m sure <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. One looks kind of volcano ish. The other looks like a penis or worm with a face on it. They look like they could be made for one to go into the other but that’s probably a childish leap and not the case. Larger piece has 10/100 scratched on bottom. Did not see mark on the other but I didn’t look very close. I told him I’d try to help since he was a nice guy and gave me some deals. If there’s anywhere I’ll find something out it’s likely here. Anyone? [ATTACH=full]416389[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416390[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416391[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416392[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416393[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
