Clement Arnoux (Aggelos) Report post Posted October 29, 2012 To my greatest surprise, I actually found a late absinthe period fountain on a flea market yesterday Perfect condition and the price was ridiculous to boost I'm so happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Griffin Report post Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Nice Clément! In the photo, it looks like one or two of the valves have broken handles. I may have one or two spares from vintage JRs. if you need them, that should be a perfect match. I hope to see you in July! (These parts of course, are a gift, should you need them) Edited October 29, 2012 by Scott M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clement Arnoux (Aggelos) Report post Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Scott, there are no broken handles they are just showing from their profile. Since they are slimmer than on the JR fountains, they do not show well. Besides, while I truly appreciate your offer, the JR valves would not fit correctly along the particular bean shaped handles of this one. Thank you very much anyway ! What'd I tell ya, Clement, another big fish that almost got away from all those "professionals". Well... I'm quite lucky here. On this particular flea market there is sometimes a seller whom I know well through his girlfriend who is a famous collector. I'm quite lucky he was not there that day Edited October 29, 2012 by Clement Arnoux (Aggelos) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manray Report post Posted December 20, 2012 I finally took pictures of my current absinthe gear. I realized afterwards I forgot to include the four saucers I have to go along with the glasses. Oh well, maybe later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clement Arnoux (Aggelos) Report post Posted March 15, 2013 Ok, here it goes, the famous spoon that I had to see confirmed before I could brag about.
