Brereton, Dublin? They are in VG condition and deserve a good home, but I think they may be valuable as well. Any ideas? |

See lot 508, Jan 2004 D-W catalogue This is the easiest way to sell. Let a reputable auction house handle it; but check their commission. An adv. in the London Times, and one in the leading Irish paper, may get you a better price. |
