Good! Akasaka Tsuba to Ebay & Vintage Boxes

[Curran]

Shinsa Bill in 30 to 60 days, so I will be listing a tsuba or two on ebay.

 

For starters, a Very Good Akaska:

I believe a student of the 3rd or 4th gen. If student of the 4th gen, it could possibly be the 5th gen master in his early days.

I started with 8 of each, and this is the last of them.

Same discount if contacted through NMB.

These are light enough that very affordable 1st class mail package can be done internationally up to 4 lbs, if you are willing to wait 3 or 4 weeks for delivery.

Thanks Brian.  I'm surprised this one hasn't gone off already.

Donation to NMB if it goes off here.

As a thick example, with some nice turnback carving to the wave- it is half way to being a small sculpture.

I'm going to give this 3 more days then pull it and ask it be removed from NMB.

 

Count down?:        3 days...

Last day !?

 

 

I am surprised. I thought this one would be a gift from me to someone.

Maybe my photos suck.

I don’t think so Curran, I’d rather say that the Board is full of empty pockets

[Stephen]

10 4 to that Jean

[Brian]

Ditto.

Actually, I’ve sewn my pockets up, was too tempting.

[Curran]

Hi Jean, ---oh I more than understand.

With me having had a high beta career (big swings), there have been some serious pauper years vs the Krug years.

As you know, December last year bit like a shark.

I really liked this tsuba but no money available unless I can sell a few things

[Curran]

Thanks gentlemen. I'd hoped to give it to a NMB member.

I ended up accepting an offer on eBay, by a person that negotiated spot on target about the min I would have accepted.

 

I may post a ko-dai Yagyu of Waves and Crescent Mon, or another Akasaka towards covering shinsa bills.

Still mulling it over.

[lonely panet]

please do Curran, (Akasaka)

I might actually have some spare funds by that stage.
