I am looking at one with the possibility to purchase and would like to research the matter and these objects. I know they are not too unusual in the NL but apparently not too many (or any) have been discussed here, in any case not that I could find them with several repeated search actions.
Are there such collectors among us?

I know that the real antique ones are horrible expensive so I never bought one but have handled a few. They are very expressive!
Sorry that I can't be from great help!
