about the boxes pictured. I'm across in North Norfolk, so in the UK. I've literally just collected them from the auction yesterday so haven't really gone through them fully.
I have a show to get out of the way this weekend (we deal in vintage eyewear) so once that's over and done with I'll have time to go through them and takes some photo's and measurements etc.
What I can do is send you some pictures of the larger boxes across as I do so if you email me at darren@deadmensspex.com . Also let me know what sizes are best for you.
There are a lot of boxes. I'll be keeping some but the rest will be up for grabs (we need the room :oD )
Hey cheers for the add, yeah am definitely looking my dreams and my bank balance seem to be at odds but if i manage to convince the mrs to stop eating and drinking for a few months i be reet haha.
