Pete Klein Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Stephen -- I placed the link in my post after 'check out the tsuba listings'. The direct link on the Tsuruginoya site to the DTI tsuba list does not work so you have to use their main page link which I gave. There are quite a few tsuba to see aside from the one I posted the picture of. Now then, would you like me to bring you a cocktail while I'm at it??? LOL Quote
Jean Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Stephen, if you forget the rim, you've got the eyes, the nose, the mouth and even on the head the hair with a hole where you can put a bone. Lol Quote
Stephen Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Does not work??? lol mine did....no charge, make it a Manhattan makers mark please. Quote
Stephen Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Jean we all see something different, i see a shocked face!! Quote
Pete Klein Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Well, I prefer Southern Comfort Manhattan but I tend to like things sweet... Jean -- I'd go with 'La Guerre des Mondes'; Quote
Stephen Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 My childhood fav movie, War of the World's...bet Pete remembers the radio broadcast...LOL Quote
christianmalterre Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 eclectic Pete sole running? i do hard doupt!-LOL! (do grip!-i actually will not do so) Me Quote
Pete Klein Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Actually, Stephen, it was the now long lost film by Georges Méliès which I saw in Paris at the end of The Great War, just before I returned to the States with the other Dough Boys. There were a number of us aboard the 'Konig Wilhelm II' which had been renamed 'USS Madawaska' (after being commandeered into service) who had seen the film as it was quite popular, even though it had been filmed a number of years earlier and was re-released for the amusement of we soldiers. Nate Thomas and I became good friends and had seen the flick, although not together. We reminisced about it on the voyage home. I believe he advanced after his return to a high command, of which he was deserving of course. I returned home and went on to study Dentistry in Chicago where my 'speciality' was in the fabrication of Bakelite Dentures utilizing plaster of Paris impression technique, but I digress... Quote

Pete Klein Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Posted October 17, 2015 Yes, you were, Christian, ... you were. You were a good and faithful servant. I must admit that I am sorry about the beheading. I was away and, well, things happen. Those Cartheginian's were a brutal lot, but we bested them, most assuredly. So glad to see you are back... Quote

Brilliant. "Bakelite Dentures". Absolutely inspired touch. Quote
jlawson Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 Looks like a temple bell. Very nice work there Pete. Quote
Steve Waszak Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks for the heads-up on this, Pete. Some very nice pieces there for sure. Looks like your fave is already spoken for? Cheers, Steve Quote
Brian Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 Here's his friend, who is not quite as happy. http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/f00237.html Quote

christianmalterre Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 indeed....its little sister looks not that happy.... but Pete, after mine beheading they found and kept a relic.... Quote
Pete Klein Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Posted October 17, 2015 Steven - yes, already gone and temptation averted. Sort of nice to see my preference affirmed by another. Every year many of the items in the DTI catalog are sold before the show and any web sites which advertise their listings will sell many off prior to the show also. It's like a feeding frenzy. You need to get the catalog ASAP if you are into purchasing these higher end items and firm your purchase just as quickly. If you hesitate or wait for a deal you'll most likely loose. Just the way it is. As for me, I'd be happy just to finally get to go to the show. Someday I'll get there. Quote
Stephen Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) another one for you at reduced price http://www.japaneseswordbooks.com/1578_Temple_Bell.JPG http://www.japaneseswordbooks.com/Tsuba.html GBP275 lowered price Edited October 17, 2015 by Stephen Quote
Pete Klein Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Posted October 17, 2015 Good learning experience. Compare the tsuba listed at the link below to the one directly above. You can see the differences in quality and execution. They corrected the link to the DTI items so here it is: http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/mn3_6_1.html#an3_6_2 Quote
Stephen Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 how about the one Brian posted> just a heavy hand? yes why i posted the other side by side you really can see difference. Quote
christianmalterre Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 Pete, speaking but more seriously here.... This DTI Tsuba certainly is a nice,representative and good one- no question! i but equally do get extremely cautious each time,i do get to see or study an old iron Tsuba with fukurin... (you do not know how it looks under, and how good or bad is the preservence of the iron)(especially in the Mimi- which in mine personal eyes, especially in Kanayama Tsuba, is the most important thing) this is the reason i do me very hard to imagine me, finally purchasing one... least me- had not done either way...(studying yes!-purchasing no!) this, of course! is mine own,very personal view- and maybe enigma.
