Q ..
Can get you a good price. Figure out how to get it back to the States.
A ..
I may have brought one back or so, but generally they would ship them for you.
You'd pay them for the shipping. That tall clock just around the corner there, it cost
just as much to ship it from London as it did to buy the clock. It came into
Baltimore. We had to go over to Baltimore to get it. The works, it's an antique,
so there's no duty on it, but the darn guy was an eager-beaver and he wasn't sure
that the works were old or not. He thought they might be new. So I think we had
to, he was closing up shop or something, so we had to come home and then go back
to Baltimore again to get that guy straightened out, being an antique. I'll show it to
you. That cane over there came from London.
Q ..
The middle one?
A ..
The one standing up straight.
Q ..
Oh, this one.
A ..
That was made for a Saudi. prince. He never picked it up. That was the story I got.
So I'll show you what's interesting about it. It's got a blade in it.
Q ..
For protection purposes?
A ..
The trouble is you can`t take it, I can't take the darn thing on an airplane or
anything. It would never go.
Q ..
Through the X-ray, would it?
A ..
Never go through the security.
Q ..
Maybe that's what he decided. Those guys fly Saudia, so they can do anything they
want.
Yes.
