Mark, your original Alpine post brought me a wealth of information, I would never had looked for in Ely, NV.
I believe I posted this in a tray thread once.
"I do not collect trays but I open all Tray posts, I never know what tid-bits of information I will find in them"
Looks like you have proven that a true statement.

The history of our collectables is what this hobby is all about. Without the history "they are only little pieces of clay" and now "glass"
