I will add that the barney west has signifigant damage (large splits and cracks) due to being left out in the harsh chicago winter the first year the new traders was open. There are a couple more that have suffered some large dings and dents. Looks like they cleaned and shined them all up - last i saw them in march(?) they were all dusty and dull, in situ in the then closed traders.... ..and who is rob christopher, tiki enthusiast, and why have I never hear of him till now ?? .. and last time I checked, it's highly illegal to sell tortoise shells, at least in this state. Big no-no.... [ Edited by: Tipsy McStagger 2012-08-07 16:24 ]
