| This is great for the children as they can usually afford to buy something and start their own collections. |

I got sidetracked and meant to write more about this piece, it is from Russia. We haven't gotten it catalogued yet, will let everyone know more when we do.

Matt, I never get tired of thanks, it keeps me posting things because It lets me know people want to see more, or enjoy what I have posted so far. I used to wonder if I was boring everyone, or taking too many people shots, but now I know people like to see a little bit of everything. So, thank YOU.

At first I thought it was a light fixture. This was in Mike Bergmann, and his son Matthew's room.
