Curran Posted May 11, 2019 Report Posted May 11, 2019 Shinsa Bill in 30 to 60 days, so I will be listing a tsuba or two on ebay. For starters, a Very Good Akaska: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323795685300?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I believe a student of the 3rd or 4th gen. If student of the 4th gen, it could possibly be the 5th gen master in his early days. NMB members contact me via NMB = 20% discount __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Also: I still have 3 vintage high end boxes, and 3 lacquer outer cases available. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323752658741?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/323751703654?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I started with 8 of each, and this is the last of them. Same discount if contacted through NMB. These are light enough that very affordable 1st class mail package can be done internationally up to 4 lbs, if you are willing to wait 3 or 4 weeks for delivery. 4 Quote
Curran Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Posted May 14, 2019 OFFER: The thick Chrysanthemums on River Akasaka + one last vintage high end box. Together for the price of: $550 + shipping Valid until Saturday. Pictures attached. This all for the moment, until the sun comes back. Also see ebay photos: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323795685300?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Quote
Brian Posted May 15, 2019 Report Posted May 15, 2019 Really lovely tsuba Curran. Will make some buyer very happy. Quote
Curran Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Posted May 16, 2019 Really lovely tsuba Curran. Will make some buyer very happy. Thanks Brian. I'm surprised this one hasn't gone off already. Donation to NMB if it goes off here. ______________________________________ As a thick example, with some nice turnback carving to the wave- it is half way to being a small sculpture. I'm going to give this 3 more days then pull it and ask it be removed from NMB. Count down?: 3 days... Quote
Curran Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Posted May 18, 2019 Last day !? I am surprised. I thought this one would be a gift from me to someone. Maybe my photos suck. Quote
Jean Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 I don’t think so Curran, I’d rather say that the Board is full of empty pockets 1 Quote
16k Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Actually, I’ve sewn my pockets up, was too tempting. Quote
Curran Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Posted May 19, 2019 Hi Jean, ---oh I more than understand. With me having had a high beta career (big swings), there have been some serious pauper years vs the Krug years. As you know, December last year bit like a shark. 1 Quote
kissakai Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 I really liked this tsuba but no money available unless I can sell a few things Quote
Curran Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks gentlemen. I'd hoped to give it to a NMB member. I ended up accepting an offer on eBay, by a person that negotiated spot on target about the min I would have accepted. I may post a ko-dai Yagyu of Waves and Crescent Mon, or another Akasaka towards covering shinsa bills. Still mulling it over. Quote
lonely panet Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 please do Curran, (Akasaka) I might actually have some spare funds by that stage. Quote
