I have recently returned from France and England, so will be adding items as quickly as possible in time for the holidays. I will add more information to each listing over the next few days, including information on the maker's punch. I carried back small silver items and antiques. Several boxes of silver and larger antiques will be arriving over the next few weeks, and I have more items arriving by container in several weeks. I hope you will visit my shop frequently over the next few weeks to see the items from my latest "hunt".
