Here's a companion piece. Syracuse Hemilitron reverse totally looks like Cthulhu... ... or an octopus. Z.
Z-- that octopus with its crossed arms looks mighty familiar. Did you buy it recently? I think it was on my watch list within the last few weeks. Can't remember if I bid on it. If I did... wish I'd bid higher! chrsmat-- such a fertile imagination
Not my octopus, sadly. The pic is from a plate in an old publication I came across while looking for pictures of the type. I was looking after I saw one in an auction a few weeks back (maybe the same one you saw).
Steve, I am not sure the world is quite ready for you but that is just fine. It's just you and we accept you the way you are. (my attempt at humour) Forvm would look like an alien planet to you and you would look very alien to them. I think that communication might be difficult despite the common language. I am a long time Forvm member though much less active of late. Humour is not something that seems to go down well on Forvm and there have been several incidents where members have quit Forvm due to the stringent rules. I move across several boards though I find I am spending much less time on any board than I used to. Regards, Martin
