What's your Holy Grail?

[Metatron]

I want to find a surviving Boeing 307 Stratoliner. Supposedly the only one is this example in the NASM, but I am CONVINCED that there simply MUST be another one somewhere in the third world.

Thought you'd find this amusing... or infuriating

[St. Louis]

A bottle of the original Coty Chypre perfume, dating to the late 1920s or early 1930s. I would die of joy. The re-issue from the 1980s occasionally pops up on the 'bay and always shoots up into the stratosphere of un-affordability. And while the re-issue is a nice perfume, it isn't a patch on the original. I have a tiny precious half-milliliter vial of that and it's heartbreakingly hauntingly devastatingly beautiful. It is now so rare that I couldn't afford it even if I could find it. My dream is to stumble across an unopened bottle in a junk shop specializing in old carburetors, for about five dollars.

It would seem there are a few people fighting over their holy grail on Ebay UK at the moment

You can buy one of those jackets brand new and made to measure from Lewis Leathers for £655.

Do they get reports of an airliner crash?

Don't forget "RED". A nice classic choice! Perhaps ask Santa for a "Starred Reverse". We should talk sometimes. John
