I spent a few hours last night and this morning putting duplicates for sale on Ebay.I have seventeen items listed so far and will add about eight more before the day is over. Click on the link above to see what I have to offer. The Leonard Sillman Plate is one that was put on Ebay. I am intrigued by this plate because I would like to know who this guy was (is).There is a Leonard Sillman who produced the New Faces musical reviews on Broadway.Perhaps he is the owner.I just ordered his autobiography at ABE Books to see if I can find a clue. .
