I sure wish I could. I have emailed the person with the items but he was not able to remember sources. And, some were gifts from family.
I was sort of hoping others on this list might be familiar with them and could share sources.
Sometimes I find things I think are new were actually around for many years, I just didn’t know.
Which items were you interested in?
