Yoshimichi Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Dear NMB Members: I recently acquired this nice iron Bushu ju Masafusa tsuba with some other pieces from a collector who purchased this piece in the very early 1980's. It comes with a custom fitted box. I am going to offer it to the NMB members first for a couple of days, then likely upload it to Ebay. There are no papers with it. The piece measures approximately 2-7/8ths inches high by 2-3/4 inches wide. The price is $800. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. Payment by Paypal ("Friends and Family). PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking. Sorry for the sideways images. I saved them in the right configuration, but when I upload them to the NMB, they are uploading sideways. I took the photos with my cellphone. Regards, Bill E. Sheehan (Yoshimichi) Attached Thumbnails 1 Quote
Brian Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 Edit and save them on your phone. Then the phone will save the correct orientation. It is a cellphone thing. 1 Quote
