Wom, that would be great, I would love to see and learn more about what items you collect and what makes them collectable.

Well here's a few items I have won recently. I'll have to get some pics of the stuff I already have, and get my photobucket account livened back up.
So for now, I'll just give you the links to the eBay pages.

This one arrived in the post today, and it's a real gem of an item.......

This is a Queens West Surrey helmet plate centre, these were used in the late 1800's in India and the Boer War. I haven't paid for this one yet, as I deal with this seller a lot, and generally get about 5 or 6 items a time from him, as postage is quite expensive.

Wom, is John O'Grady still Irish, or did he settle in Australia after deciding this?

Actually John O'Grady is Australian. I'm sure he was born here circa 1907.
His parents were Irish, and he lived near where I live in the New England area when he was young.
He's actually a pretty famous Aussie author. And with a typical Aussie sense of humour.
