30 years is definitely vintage!

Thank you for the kind words.

You guys have high standards \ taste; as such these comments are high praise! It was (kind of) an impulse buy for me - it was the patina that did it for me.

You did excellent Steve. It's getting harder and harder to find original examples like that. I would NEVER sell that if I were you. Enjoy it
