Thanks for sharing those pictures Frank.
I have a question, how much could it cost a set like your 1930's Jaques?
I'd be hesitant to discuss prices. I would recommend you start watchin ebay auctions of Jaques sets - that will give you a good sense what various sets go for.

Excellence beyond compare. With your fabulous collection I'm sure it would be difficult for you to pick a most favorite set, but I figure I'd ask anyway, do you?
