I think what Al is trying to say is that the Charleston was factory cut that way and not actually trimmed.
I have seen many Billikens and Al has seen many more, and they do come in various shapes and sizes.
Damn Al, how come our conversations are never this in depth as your posts are here, you're a freakin genius! LOL
Unfortunately I was also shut out of Hakes this go around but a little birdie told me there is so much more to the Merkin Collection, Hakes could stretch this process out for the next several years.
So I would not whine about not getting anything now--just think, you'll have even more money to spend in their next auction.
Congrats again to Al and to anyone else that came away with something from Hakes.
