Scripophily external link
Dear CptViraj I noticed an external link to leeuwerck.blogspot.com was removed by you. The link refers to a comprehensive blog about the topic. The blog deals with the subject in many aspects, book reviews, exhibtions, etc. This is a blog I run as an amateur. The blog format is simply used because it is for me a handy work tool. I am member of several scripophily associations. Wherever possible I use Wikipedia for research and I quote Wikipedia sources in my blog.
