And now for something completely different - how about showing us your top 10 (or however many) acquistions from 2021

And now for something REALLY different - my TEPPOU acquisition for 2021.  More photos and detail will appear in the TEPPOU thread by-and-by.

What does ‘by-and-by’ mean? 

[Bazza]

It means when I have got my act together and massaged a sufficiently good set of photos of all the features of the teppou.  One teaser - the mei has a kao...

Another - it retains a feature I have never seen before, but which answered a question. 

BaZZa

aka "Gunnadoo"

PS - I will try harder.  When I ran the 'Gunnadoo' line to Mal Cox's request for oshigata he wrote back and said "Can you make that 'Gottadoo'  "
