I posted a follow up to my original message regarding this piece.

I reconsidered and decided to list it up for auction on eBay on the simple premise (you can't take it with you). And not exactly being young. I would hate to see it accidentally destroyed. It's rightful home should be either with a collection or museum. Where it would be recognized as something important as opposed to just being a dusty leather bound catalogue in mine.

I linked the auction to to my original post as well as here as some expressed interest in it.

Have a great weekend
