This collection has been shared on the Net for over 20-years now. It's a cumulative collection that I started about 50-years ago, though my interest (and studies) started many years prior.

At one time I listed my email address on the page, and I've stayed in touch with a few friends I met during the short time my email was listed. But I soon became overwhelmed by those wanting to know what their pieces were worth, or if they were authentic. I had to remove my email. I was also overwhelmed by the many offers from those wanting to buy one or more pieces in my collection. I reminded them that none were for sale at that time.

Health issues have me now thinking of selling my collection. It's my hope to keep the collection together.

I will consider any valid offers. Keep in mind that it's for the entire collection. Offers will be channeled through my financial manager who will set up a safe, mutually agreed to, escrow to hold the funds till an agreement is reached and escrow instructions are satisfied. Here are the specifics in making a valid offer.

Though this site offers excellent images, including close-up and macro, the collection will of course be available for personal inspection. Should the prospective buyer be unable to personally inspect, such as out-of-country, they may appoint a local representative to inspect on their behalf. A good will deposit of $5000 USD to the escrow will be required for the viewing. All but $1000 USD will be returned should the viewing result in no sale.

This alone should remove any inquiries of those who are just curious.

For those who are serious in purchasing this collection, please contact me at the email address given below and I will forward your email to my financial manager to set up the escrow.

Should I receive an offer requiring me to mail the entire collection to the buyer for inspection, such as out-of-country, the full offer amount will have to be deposited to the escrow, $2000 USD will be nonrefundable.

As to the individual pricing of each of the 28 pieces in the collection, thirteen fall in the 6K to 15K USD range, the remaining pieces are valued in a higher range. I place a conservative value of 325K US dollars for the entire collection.

Keep in mind when submitting an offer, nothing less than $200,000 USD for the entire collection will be considered. Those submitting the highest offer will have the first option to inspect and buy.

This collection is on file with the Library of Congress - US Copyright Office - Washington DC, USA. I will transfer ownership when the transaction is complete.
