BJust been in Belgium and Germany (oh and Holland) and wasn't expecting be allowed to ratch by the missus. Went to an antique market in Cologne and found the Suchard tins (about 9 inches high) lovely images and dated 1900. Paid an arm and a leg for them. Then on our return she spots the Brouwer tin in an antique shop in Bruges. Loved the images bizarrely its for sausage skins! But it wasn't too bad on price. The antique shop had loads of reasonably(ish) priced Belgian beer enamels. I think if you had a bar they'd be ace.

Bout £20, no not really loads and loads of enamels outside ............lot more than usual but nothing to get excited about few tidly bits to sell on. Used to go to these fairs and find one decent bit for the collection, and 10 bits of c**p to pay for the good un ! Now I struggle to even find the C**p !!

BUT you have to go ! Just in case you've missed something !! Ah Well !
