Hi Michael....

    They're all over Ebay.....as well as on the web... I suspect despite
    the ad patter, that these are cherry picked for the valuable
    stuff....even sorted as to potential cleanability.... 

    Still...when you start fooling around with them, they get
    interesting... 

    And you are holding history, 1400-1500 years old, say, in your
    hand....
