John,

It's good to see your family of squirrels is growing. Your newest addition is a great example of the Professor's work.

It's difficult to upgrade anything that was produced by Allach, though, there are some other very excellent squirrel porcelains out there. I can think of a really nice pattern by Meissen that's very Art Deco looking. Have you seen that one? It's normally found in white porcelain and red clay mediums and either one would make for a good companion to the two you now have.

Mike Wipf posted a reddish B�ttger Steinzeug model in the Imperial Allach thread if you haven't seen one. Rosenthal also made a small, mini-squirrel that's pretty nice, too.

If I can ever lend a hand just drop me a line.

Thanks for sharing your latest K�rner pattern and much continued luck. Wink

Best!

Bill Warda
