<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2706019, member: 75525"]What do you do when buying from a new company? I normally like to watch some of their auctions, see what CT folks think, read info on their web site, and such. This time, all I could find was their auctions on biddr.ch. The company lists a home SE of London for their contact address (at least that is what google maps says). The company is recently incorporated and I could not find the company or only employee on LinkedIn. Normally that is enough to discourage me from bidding. But the piece was inexpensive, less than $100. So I crossed my fingers and bid anyway. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]609873[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Steelyard Weight in form of Head</p><p>1st-3rd century AD </p><p>3.1cm</p><p>Intact, green patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post something that turned out better than you thought it might based on where you found / bought it.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - anyone hear of St Paul Antiques (London not Minn.)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
