Pete,

Thanks for all the pictures and update. I think you had just left when I got the email from Marc. I'm pleased that you guys could ID the catalog.

Mike,

You can thank Marc for the detective work on that one. He spent just a short time with it and identified the maker as Marcel Donckier. Donckier was apparently a high end maker during their final decades. Just not a name we ever see here.

Careful, Pete . . . you give Steve wooden shoes and he's likely to toss them into someone's CAD/CAM machine. (The origin of the word "sabotage", as some may know.)

Larry, I think you speak French, about the "sabots" they are not only for decoration here, some farmers use them mostly in winter time with stro in to keep the feed warm.

Looks like a wonderful trip. Marc is also a friend of mine. Is that one of the Lefevers Marc bought from me? He had quite an ordeal getting over there. Thank you for sharing the story and pictures.
