and, an example of the most exquisitely hand-engraved gold container.......perfect for the storage of cotton 'ear swabs'.....The other items from the set, of which this was an item within....was stolen, 25 years ago, and....likely, sold for gold at some sleazy pawn shop in Miami Beach, Florida......where some of the other pieces were seen by a friend of mine who witnessed the 'transaction' at the Show.....and called both me and the local Police.......Alas, no one was arrested and....by the time the FBI and Police arrived.....the 'Gold' was already long-gone.....I did my own 'detective work' and figured out who the thief had been......Jeffrey Meyer and/or Peter Bathaung.......whose corrupt Lawyers helped them to 'cover their tracks'.......I was grateful to hear that both Jeffrey (cancer) and Peter (heart attack) were, soon thereafter, DEAD!........Good Riddance!!
