- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis petite item arrived well packaged and nicely polished. The lid was faulty, as it does not click fast on anymore. What I really appreciated much was a Robert-Greene-like photo! The seller sent me an email message, prior to the dispatch of the item, with a photo of a handsome WWII officer as the original owner, photographed in 1945, that offers me such a warm feeling and a sense of sentimental interrelatedness. Thanks.Follow-up from: *****- Feedback followed up by buyer.- Feedback followed up by buyer.I mean, in the previous message, "the photo was Robert-Graves-like", I was then thinking of RG's Goodbye to All That.(My computer's fault, its auto-correcting error: "Robert-Greene-like".)Reply from: guvnor2- Feedback replied by seller guvnor2.- Feedback replied by seller guvnor2.Thank you.
