And again I have another batch to share with everyone. It is a small group of stereoviews, which are something I find very interesting as I had never heard of them before working here.

It’s been a while since I’ve reported on the returning stolen pieces, but I am happy to say that they continue to come in. And some people have been extremely kind and sent extra pieces in to help rebuild our collection. Here are some of the pieces have that have come back in the last month.
