Demsey 9 Posted December 23, 2008 Actually, that would be an amazing 'coffee table' book. Or thread topic. Maybe it would get Iowa motivated to post his collection of mantle clock pieces. It would have to be an Euro effort though, 'Merica wasn't born of those centuries. This is about as 'haute' as we go with anything exterior large scale; Meh, it carries with it tradition. At least. And fries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
