[Leica] Monday Misc.

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

That's a long queue - just for the viewing, I presume. I've no idea how 
these things work in the US, but I'm assuming the sale/auction was not 
at the house.

Did you got lucky, Don, and buy something interesting? He sounds like he 
might be the sort of person who would have a nice M3 in his collection, 
or a minor Miro.
