Thank you Robert!
Can you steer me to any literature relative to this type of product. We
rarely see anything that I would attribute to Scottish production in the
Midwest, but I may simply be overlooking it ... In fact, I think that I
could count on one hand the number of marked pieces of Scottish production
that I've seen in 30 years.
Thanks again, Mark
