    quirkygirls link saved me watching my recording on TV, I was only going to watch your bit as the rest does not interest me.
    Superb result.

    It is a serious matter!

    No , honestly; I am not a actor...
    I knew all John Baddeley was telling me, long before; we did a good research, here.;-)
    All I needed was a authority on scrimshaw confirming it.
    The stage manager (or what ever it is called) made us do the scene; over and over again, because he wanted me to react when the value was mentioned.

    I had never heard of Roderick before, didn't even see the signature at the time of the exposition (and apparently, no one did!).
    I would have gone up to 500 euro, because I really wanted it, I was lucky there was only one bidder against me, who let it go early.
    Great part of my private collection is navy related, always loved to have some scrimshaw in the collection , but that rarely, or should I say never, comes up here in Belgium.
    Best part is that I was in France , coming down the Mont Ventoux when I bid over the telephone, if I would have missed that call, I would have missed it all....
