The earliest date we have is circa 2010 which is not sufficient for auction. The next step would either be to contact the dealer from who your client acquired them or alternatively the son of Mitchell to see if either have further info. We look forward to hearing from you.

Alex, whom you met last week, and copied here, will go to the MET on Tuesday or Wednesday next week to search through the file. In the meantime, if you hear anything further, just let me know.

Part of it was gifted to the MET and I am friendly with the curatorial staff there- do you want me to check in with them to see if they have any knowledge about these marbles?

As I explained during the visit, the only way for me to supply a correct value on them is to have the details of their provenance. I very much look forward to hearing from you, and as soon as I have that info, I will be able to respond immediately. I hope this finds you well, and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, G.
