nnoonan, No one here is trying to knock your offering on eBay. We are studying the problem and as such, it is open to all sorts of discussion. Some will be one way, some another. Please do not be put off by the discussion. In this Forum, it is the way we try to determine origin, authenticity and provenance. I am happy you choose to participate as it is very usefull to help us all learn something.These artifacts are quite interesting and to date, not seen by many of the knowledgeable people here. This does not make them wrong, just out of the ordinary. Thanks, Jerry Burney
