      "Show us yer bottom, Frannie," the men in the tavern shouted over the frothy rims of their ale-filled mugs. Hoisted quickly onto a table by a dozen searching hands, she did just that... OK... I'm not too sure what prompted all that, but enjoy.

      More detail. Note loss of enamel; presumably from the hinged crown banging away at it over the years. I like seeing this sort of "patina" on a piece this old.

      Greetings, gentlemen. I wish to offer for your viewing pleasure a small trinket from my collection:

      Actually... the introduction of the cotton gin again made slavery a viable institution for the South, so the reverse of what you say here is true.
