You and @Ken Sakata are kindred spirits in some ways.
As soon as TN thaws out, I can tell my friends of this refreshing tidbit.
Thanks for this interesting and informative article.
A small point: it was Charles Pillyvuyt, not Pillyvut whose company first produced those replicas.
Thanks again, and please excuse the pedantry.
