David,
I can live with an I told you so and I am not above saying what a dope I am.

In this case, I don't feel that I am wrong. Your hints have not helped me.There is no "Varnish" on the item. Having spent much of my youth working with my Dad on wood. Varnish is something I can usually recognize. In your other post you mentioned "tin types". These are not Tin Types. I am usually pretty good at hints, but not in this case.

As far as your opinion goes, I fully respect it.You have proven yourself again and again. That is why I called you and asked your opinion. That is why I offered to Fed Ex the proofs to you, which you refused. I hope you can understand that I can't pull an auction based on one persons opinion that has not even examined them.

I am looking forward to the start of your formal authentication service, I will give you some business. In the meantime I will always strive to get the best available authentication of items; and that is what I have done in this case.

The only thing I don't understand is, why I have shown this to other experts and they seem to agree with my opinion. I have taken great care in examining them(and this ain't my first rodeo) and I don't smell a rat. I have also read litature(ie. Albumen.com) and I do not see the light.

As far as Henry's nails go. I would suggest cutting just a tiny bit above the quick(red part), getting closer and closer everytime will cause the quick to go further up each time. This will make it so he won't need to get his nails cut as often.

Regards,
Nick
