Holy cow - what a beauty! Congrats Thomas.

/seconded. What a beautiful piece of history!

Like Brian and Tony, I am Team Coffee Can. Perfect size, and distributes the weight well. I use black shelves, and make little black velvet sleeves for the cans. In the right light they look like they are floating. And aside from the stitching damage mentioned above, the weight on the...

Outstanding - thanks for sharing, James!

What Sander said! What a glorious set, beautifully displayed.

Oh, the "Pro Gloria et Patria" guy? Thought that setup looked familiar. Thanks GIno!
