REPLY to KM 12/09: prices are based on what this dealer has paid. One can not sell items for less than what one paid regardless of how they are priced at other venues; else why do this? Can you imagine a complete stranger, not a revered client, wrote and demanded that these be priced for less than what this dealer paid?! Furthermore, the dates on these ARE circa 1920 to 1930, as these were acquired from elderly folks! Repeat: another visitor (above) wrote that they knew these to be circa 1914.
