Thanks for the compliments, the only “punch” like these is in the very old Sargent book in the CASE section.

Very nice Ike ::tu:: ::tu:: .. Jordan has an interesting history being located in St Louis and Sheffield - one thing that sticks in my memory is Jordan did alot of trading with native Americans back in the 1800s when the west was being settled... and he had huge showrooms in St Louis..
