Three Monkey Collection available

Dana Manciagli from Washington state, U.S.A. wrote to us that she wants to pass along her 3-monkey collection of over 100 sets. The reason is very sad. For the third time she is now being treated for late stage cancer and she also has lost her twin sister to this disease. She prefers that the new owner of the collection will simply cover the costs of packing and shipping of the full collection (with or without the display case). Here are pictures of Dana's collection (Nr. 011), and here's a link to her blog DanaManciagliCancer.com. We will be pleased to send you her email address on request.
