Invented the first battery AND Lululemon apparel. And yet they hardly ever rate a mention on the History Channel. Edited by Kamnaskires 01/08/2020 10:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It was great to read through this thread again really interesting thanks.. I always thought of the Mongolians being the 'Crème de la crème' of horsemen but I must say these Parthians would take some beating! Pic will look great framed on the wall next to your new IKEA cabinet!? Report this Post to the Staff

museumguy Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/10/2020 09:06 am Great find Bob! Before getting into ancients I was a pretty avid Victorian trade card collector and had some Liebigs in my collection but not this one. There was even a group called the Victorian Trade Card Collectors Association which had quarterly publications. I do remember seeing at least one or two articles on the Liebig card series. Not only did the Parthians wear spotted pajamas but they might have eaten this awful canned meat (sorry you Spam lovers!) as well or, conversely, as the picture shows, they are shooting at the Liebig employees for making such a "wonderful and tasty" product!!

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/10/2020 09:20 am Thanks, all. Hopefully Oriole can find those PJ's somewhere. Quote: Looks like the horses wore the same outfit! Of course, Paul. Lack of coordination would have been considered a faux pas. The idea: overwhelm your enemy with arrows AND style. Quote: IKEA cabinet!? Still a few months away - perhaps during my spring break in March, hopefully. Just haven't had time to get downtown to see it through. But the weaponry is getting to be underfoot - been picking up some more. Really do need to get the storage system in place - and to document and upload (to the gallery) the new acquisitions. Plan to do a bit more bouncing between the weapons and coins this year. Last year the coin purchasing was pretty much on hiatus. Quote: Nice revival Thanks for the supportive comments, Scott. Much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Always nice to see you return to the board, Steve. Neat that you collected some of these trade cards. But, I'm confused. Are you suggesting that a "molasses-like black (meat) spread" could be anything other than completely delicious and desirable? Maybe the Parthians in the illustration are racing toward the extract, and trying to reduce the competition behind them? Such stylish gents must have been connoisseurs, after all.
