Many thanks for this. In fact in this auction there are pieces that total to over a hundred if you include the glass mascot bases, however there are not one hundred actual mascots for sale. I do have more mascots, which are repeats of the ones in the sale, however I have some opalescent pieces that may be for sale if I contemplate a part two auction at the same venue, lets see how these go!
