**It is always fun to add another item to the accumulation.  Although

   this item was designed as a war time emergency item without much

   artistic design, it is a rather scarce item from a somewhat obscure

   place.   And it is right on a river!   A fun item and a 'lucky find'**

If this is something you have for sale, shouldn't you just list it?

My understanding is that these Boards are  not for the purpose of flogging your items for sale.

Other than the fact that the OP mentions "numismatic travelers who might be in Stuttgart" and explains the location of the bus depot.

If his purpose is not to sell, then why come to eBay and brag about something you've acquired.  Are there not numismatic web sites or periodicals?  

[soh.maryl]

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

some of us have been talking about and sharing (pics, info, NOT buying/selling) our collections with each other in here and the old coin chat for over 2 decades...

Take a wild flying squirrel guess who posted this statement:

"As I've mentioned previously, I have a granddaughter who works in one of the local schools as a Reading Comprehension Specialist (or a similar title).  There are apparently also adults who could use that kind of help."

In all fairness, this just randomly popped up under new posts in the community section. The not for sale part was buried near the end. I also thought it was a newbie trying to advertise a for sale item, especially with the intro line "Greetings to all coin & token collectors, where-ever you

might be.  Heron is pleased to report acquisition of...".

Maybe they could start with NOT FOR SALE.

I have read 300+ posts from elheron sharing coins and their history he has added to his collection. He is one of the very few that posts numismatic related topics on this COINS & PAPER MONEY Discussion Board. Most whine about their eBay purchases and other carp that belongs on another Board. He does not need to start with "NOT FOR SALE" Why does someone that never posts on this Board come here and starts trouble that doesn't know from

el Heron has been a member of eBay Coin & Paper Money chatboard

since Jan 1999.  Heron has NEVER offered any item for sale here.

We are numismatists that like to share our collecting experiences.

Please read the 'posts' very carefully.   Heron includes the statement

'This item NOT for sale'.    It is difficult to mis-interpret this statement.
