Congratulations on completing the set. Persistence does pay. About how long did it take you to get all of them?

I was fortunate to be able to get three at one time then was able to do some trading with a fellow Cripple Creek collector for the other two. So only about six months which is pretty quick compared to some other sets I have been working on for years.

My next quest is for a set of Cripple Creek Wounded Knee barlows. There were four in the set that came in a wooden wheel. If anyone knows where I may be able to acquire one or all of the set send me a pm.
