Another item that I still have a chance to get. Is a wonderful Toby mug, downside was it is a Shorter and Sons version. I passed buying based on I know nothing about Shorter and Sons Toby Mugs. If it were a Daulton I would of jumped. Sorry I have no pics of it but, It was large, standing about 12" tall, biggest toby Mug I've seen, I forgot all the markings but was of a English Salior, had HMS ...... on his hat. It is a true Toby Mug as it is full body, not just a head, wonderful condition once the years of Chain smoking is cleaned off. Orginally he had $125.00 on it, but is offering it to me for $75.00. The little research thus far is Ebay you can get Shorters for around $20.00 to $30.00, couple a bit higher, but non of these are as big. Anyway I have unitl Wendsday to decided. Any input?

That's it HMS Cheerio, but like really big one. Maybe I should think harder about it.
