Wandering around looking for some dotty ones. .... I guess the opposite end is the cobras .....

I know the answer to the knight problem. Still not an idea on the light problem. Was hoping for the fancy kind of switch. With just on-off switches, I have to go back to the drawing board .....

A forgotten boxtop ... it's in the Akro Timeline thread but I apparently need more refreshers. P.s., this is also a reminder about Popeye boxes not being all Popeyes. Your wicked oxbloods coulda come in a box like this ... maybe?

Well, I have seen the boxtop before. I'm not seeing it on an actual box so far in my search this afternoon, but I saw it in an ad before:

10 Phrases From Shakespeare We Still Use 400 Years After His Death

Does the room have a ceiling?

This could take awhile.

Oh my goodness. I had no idea. Thank you for letting us know.

Oh my! Crystal AND purple. Which run is that?

The stagger effect works.

Fwiw, I thought I could see where cutline(s) might be on this mib.

I could really learn to like sulphides Troubadour

So ... now the hunt is on for the most dotty guineas we can find .....

The recent discussion reminded me again that I don't know what the signs are to look for in "real" guineas. What colors are good. What kinds of things can happen with the spots. So here's a thread just for posting a whole bunch of guineas. (picture from a Morphy auction)
