I...I second the WOW...lovely work and great story. If it was bought it the 1970s it will have increased in value quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>It does seem rather odd that with a parent who would give a child such a gift that she would be UNAWARE of its value. Especially if her mum bought it at Jeremy Maas gallery which was one of the first to promote the PRs in the late 60s and 70s. That is not like SHE found it in an attic but rather knew what she was buying. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if there is more to this story...Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870791842615196439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-71584975113537514742008-11-28T23:00:00.000-07:002008-11-28T23:00:00.000-07:00Wow what a treasure!
