Any serious Dansk collector should include a trip to the Sam Kaufman Gallery as part of a trip to the Los Angeles area.  I had the pleasure of visiting him and his gallery over the winter break on a road trip down to Southern California.
First of all, the collection.  If both of my cameras hadn’t [...]

Have a great holiday!

Too bad Chanukah is almost over, cause there’s a new mill collection that just went up on eBay.  All metal Peugeot grinders, 25 mills, one price.  This is a nice collection with several mills that are quite rare.
Check out the auction.
