no,i didnt know that it was a ' 54 model!well,sadly,THIS seller (much like the others i've contacted) wont tell me specific info about the set or IF there is an option of shipping or how long a pickup trip would take,so i'd LOVE this set,but i guess it's just not meant to be oh well..i'll just keep my fingers crossed that something good will come along.thanks for all the info and help,guys
