Approximately a 15007.

Years ago in the value of an anti Jewish ritual objects.

Increases than what we cool sexiness who argue that selling this as an investment.

It could be done as an investment or could be done is decorative item.

What I did you did you is some -- -- in the ornate antique world.

With the only auction house that's dedicated solely in computer that we do nothing else.

Well what gives this you know a 100000 dollars -- -- value -- Providence rarity -- -- rarity and -- it is very -- have someone as old as this from Kiev -- absolutely but more importantly it's extremely attractive if you look at the minority in front of -- -- -- our front it was -- crack -- anything that's one that's applause -- -- it problem.

And crack Poland during.

It's attractive but it's nowhere near as glamorous as this one.

This won't sell approximately 7000 dollars maybe -- thousand the most.

What we're doing its citizens glamorous and is they ought look involved -- -- -- -- you know -- were very very reports only what we kids in this country that we were allowed to go into various industries.

So to have a Jewish person that could -- -- this.

Or in those days condition something like this -- this -- can go to -- and -- you know -- -- in -- Like you've been on the silver Smith you give -- general -- of what you wanted.

And he would make -- feel.

But it is this investment vehicle forgive me for calling you know athletic investment -- -- no question about it it is easy to.

Available to non -- absolutely onto the sense I have you ever sold a menorah.

That's gonna go up in value to -- on June no we've sold to museums though which are -- -- government Jewish people you know there are several museums that buy from us.

Bill -- is an investment they've wired into the device coming on this program we have -- showing the world what -- -- -- right and telling the world as you have that this is an investment vehicle -- because this is now 100000 dollars it sold in 198625.

Opening up -- -- -- and on June was it as an investment vehicle they could very well -- would you welcome that absolutely I welcome anybody that can appreciate our Jewish history and Jewish art.

Whether they do it for dollar as -- they do it for beauty.

You know -- -- really got -- it gives them right and it's reported that he used this -- of menorah.

Now whether that's true or not nobody really knows but because it was made in Ukraine approximately 18100.

Which is about seven year -- years after he can't you know after his instinct which is a bit more than that it's it's purported to be be -- -- -- -- you know this this would sell for about because of its enormous on -- it would sell anywhere between them 3040000 dollars okay.

Is this this has got all these items will be auctioned it is soon.

In the near future we'll have -- -- here.

Just once a year and a source here there's not a rolling gold noted there's only 600 -- vehicle collectors throughout the entire universe that we have on our on our mailing list.

I mean I'm sure there are more waiting to be born a collector is born not developed you know.

It was weather reports it's important to its -- investment vehicle.
