    I just sold this for $25.00. It's been in my family forever and reminded me of one of Sid Caesar's comedy skits where he spoke Italian (actually double talk) and pulled out an Italian banknote the size of a bath towel Italy Big Mille Lire Back 2015_08_02_12_30_350001.jpg Italy Big Mille Lire Front2015_08_02_12_29_120001.jpg

    I will assume they are both to the same scale, easier if both were in the same picture, but I get your point.

    In any case, they're pretty large. Almost 25 x 15 cm which is ... big. :)
