Kenji,

Thanks ever so much for the excellent photos. Why on earth would anyone ever despise your collection? Collections are to be admired and learned from! I would love to see more as I'm sure all of the list would. If ever time permits I'd suggest creating some online albums like those of mine on ImageStation (http://www.imagestation.com/member/?name=dbilenkey). It's free, it only takes time! :-)

In any case, your photos do more to cement the idea in my mind that these levers I have on auction are, in fact, copies and not MAFACs.

Again, thank you for your contributions.
