Missed Opportunity??

A great corkscrew collector friend who feels sorry for me due to the fact I am too picky with pieces for my collection, this week offered me 3 great English corkscrews. All 3 would fit in my collection well. On offer was a ultra rare English mechanical, a rare Henshall type and a stunning peg and worm!! The deal was, take them all or nothing.

I can't say too much, only that I turned the offer down!! A decision I am sure to regret, what's more the purchase price was up to me. Let me say thanks "Good Friend". I am sure the kind collector is happy these pieces stayed in his collection and I hope offers will still come my way in the future.

That's collecting for you...you win some and you loose some.
