Victoria auction this weekend

[NW Mailing List]

Hello:

I cannot attend the auction below.  If anyone is planning to be there, please contact me off-list at f_scheer at yahoo.com?  I would like to bid on one of the tie tongs that are available.  I'd prefer one marked N&W but will consider any of them.  If you'll be at the convention, I can pick it up from you then, but will pay immediately after the sale.
