That would be my interest, but $78 seems
awfully rich for that. I suspect the winner
has some professional involvement with the
citrus industry or a citrus museum to pay
that much. And condition wasn't that great.

My third cheese sampling tool arrived today!
The wood handle suggests a mid- or early-19th
century date. Excellent condition, and it's
a little longer than my other ones. Less than
$60, much better deal than that citrus thing.
