    Ok, I'll let you know what she turns up, after next months markets.
    Cheers.

    I think that's probably closer to the truth, Mick.

    Ok Carl, my wife went to the markets again and came home with this. It's a Taintor Positive No.7, made in the US.

    Apparently there wasn't much to choose from this time. There was one there for $26 with no makers marks and this one which cost us $12 (from different sellers) ... how does $20 delivered sound?

    Anyway let me know if you are still keen.
    Cheers.

    Vernon.

    Hi Vernon,
    I'd like to buy it if Carl decides not to.

    Carl, email sent. Better get in quick, my wife is starting to have doubts about selling it since she saw Ray's link ... she comes from a long line of hoarders and antique buffs.

    Michael, looks like you miss out this time, but I've issued a challenge to my wife to see if she can find more ... .
    Cheers.

    Vernon.
