I know some of you are intending getting your cameras out, but please will you ALL participate? I need plenty of examples of ordinary things, be they chipped, damaged, or broken. So give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses--they are all welcome. People who read this blog are sophisticated collectors. We have all been around the block a few times, so we tend to shove mundane examples to the back of a shelf...but new collectors will be looking in these books to find just those figures. So send them all my way, please, please please. This would be a perfect weekend to get out your camera!
Thanks to those of you who have stepped forward to help with pictures for the next book. I am so appreciative. I know its not fun taking pictures, measuring heights, emailing etc, and some of you have gone to memorable lengths to help.....but the more of us participate, the better the end result. This book must reflect the collective state of what we know. That way, others can build on our knowledge in the future.

Yay, Michael! May everyone do the same. Today, Malcolm and I are excited about the flowers on a marked figure sent to us by a collector. They help link a group of figures to Hall--an attribution we had suspected but may now be able to confirm.
