This is another of my skulls. He's sterling silver, and weighs about 2 ounces. It is stamped on the back "PM" and "STERLING". I wear him almost constantly, on a string of net mending twine and some beads. The white beads are allegedly ostrich eggshell. I got him an an antique convention at the Baltimore Convention Center in August of 2001 when I was speaking at another conference in the same venue. The missus came along and we made a weekend of it. Someday, I might tell the story of how the wind around the World Trade Center in the Inner Harbor made her do a Marilyn Monroe skirt flip in front of every tourist in Harbor Place, forcing her to purchase shorts at a store in the nearby mall. Ooops. I guess I already did!
