(E) Saving the best (nearly) 'til last... a fabulous enamel sign by the tops French poster artist Cassandre for the Casino grocery store chain, fabricated by the famed Emaillerie Alsacienne-Strasbourg Hornheim; it measures 27 across, 29 high, and is one-sided. I have one in my kitchen, and couldn't even boil water without it! The local French drunks couldn't resist hurling their empty wine bottles and/or 2-day-old baguettes at Monsieur Casssandre's masterpiece, merely adding to its vintage authenticity and "patina," as we say in the trade...

So sorry, but Richard saw this, went nuts, and now it's SOLD!!
