A third Philco 515 "Impressionistic" has surfaced. The owner graciously allowed me to share these pictures with you:

The paint on the lid had been damaged in the past, and someone had tried to repaint it. The owner is going to employ a commercial artist to repair the damaged lid, replicating the original colors.
There are still old, rare sets out there, waiting to be found. In the past few months we have gone from only one of these "Impressionistics" known to exist to three, and more may show up in the future. My friend Michael Prosise owns one, and the second sold here on the Phorum classifieds recently.
