Tsuba Tosogu Collection Sale 50+ Items

Nikanoru · June 28, 2021

Hi Gents,

One fellow collector asked me to help finding new homes for some of his tsuba. You may call it “consignment sale” but since I’m collector myself I call it “helping a friend”

Here is what I have
- Iron Signed Tsuba batch, ##1-11
- Iron Unsigned Tsuba batch, ##12-35
- Soft Metal Tsuba batch, ##36-46
- Tosogu batch, menuki, f-k, kozuka

You can see the items here

Priority will be given to wholesale buyers, 2+ items.
Most of the items include s&h.
Two last soft metal tsuba may go as a compliment to a wholesale buyer, good as paperweights

Cheers,

Interesting cockerel tsuba. I wonder if the bonhams one have been restored. Do the artist create a master tsuba and then copy the design from that one or is it from a drawing.

Well received into the U.S. Alex...quickly and nicely packed. Thanks again. Everything looks better in hand.

Ben

Alex you have some beauties available there.

Nikanoru · August 9, 2021

## 4, 36, 40 sold.

And some more are closing.

Strange that practically no interest from the board. If you like something but not sure and hesitating, let's talk, I will send more pix, tell what do I think.

Doesn't hurt to make an offer, worse case you will get a "no" or a figure you won't like

Cheers,

You'd be surprised at how many people just don't open external links.
Try posting one or 2 group teaser pics here...see what a difference that makes.

b.hennick · August 9, 2021

I avoid external links unless I know where they are going.

I was afraid someone would say it

Too much effort to move things that don't even belong to me...

But I'm really tired of stumbling over the bag with this stuff.

I will upload downsized pdf's. Hope they won't scare people away

Thanks,
