Blue, I think I need to retract my interest in that Elgin headbadge, at least for now.
You see, I'm often seeing frames I'd like to buy -- or occasionally have bought -- that are missing their badges, and it sort of grieves me a little. So as a Golden Rule sort of thing, I believe I should stay my hand.
If, however, the ultimate buyer is willing to let it go (or the frame begins to sing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" of its own accord) I hope you'll please remember me and pass my userid to him along with my notice of interest.

P.S. Regarding my PM about the other frame, I discovered answers to two of my questions in this here "secret" secret-stash thread, which I hadn't seen apart from the other secret-stash thread. The only thing remaining in doubt for me is the wheel size.
In any case, if the gentleman who had expressed the prior interest in it drops out, I'd be pleased to pay a proper amount for it. Thanks again for your consideration, and apologies for belaboring the issue(s).
P.P.S. I had a very strange dream about that frame from which I awoke only twenty minutes ago. Would you happen to know anything about the original owner?
