New Addition

Many of you know me as a dealer, however, after a few years of primarily selling I recently decided it was about time to start building a collection of my own. The Blueberry 1675 has always been on my list of favorites, however I could never find an example that quite met my standards in terms of quality and patina.

After an opportunity to purchase a Blueberry 1675 insert fell into my lap earlier last week, I decided it was time. Coincidentally I was able to secure one of the nicest 1675's I have had come through my hands the day after I purchased the insert. It came together perfectly, don't you think?

Special thanks to both the collectors who sold me the Blueberry insert and 1675.

Anyways, onto pictures!

Congrats - it's a great combination! I'm more of a fan of the lighter lumes, but they perfect with the hands and the blue...brilliant!
