I don't have a picture of it, more's the pity.  But it was a lovely little thing.  I sold it this afternoon to a couple from Ohio.

But while I was ringing up the sale, the buyers got into a conversation with other customers, about the current U.S. political scene, and it turned out they were ardent Hilary-slandering liberal-media-bashing frothing Trumpites. (Although even so, she expressed the wish that he'd shut his mouth. Dream on, lady.)
