I do wonder where these folks are finding their expert info. This one prolly got theirs from the same person who told them it was a pontil weight.

Well, you can always send him a best offer, and he hasnt set an autodecline level so it can be as low as you like

He says he dug it out of an 1800s dump site. I wonder if he has the Brooklyn Bridge for sale too.

And yet another set of Paul Ysart's tools

I don't know how these guys can get their facts so wrong. Anybody who knows anything about these things would know straight away that it is a rare sunflower paperweight by van Gogh!

Actually, the colours give the game away... they are clearly the regimental colours for the LXIVth Octavius Legion, perhaps this was unearthed in excavations at Pompeii - which would explain its superb condition.
