And you think Parker memorbelia is out of hand....

Robert, don't worry about the ceramics collectors. The L.C. Smith collectors are much more agressive bidders for Lennox Hunter Arms pitchers than any ceramics collector. Chris, don't beat around the bush. Mr. Francis Morin is the same person as Run with the Fox, the person who has been banned here and, according to him, on the Smith forum. He is disruptive on every forum where he has posted, has bullied anyone who stands up to him. However, he is a gun guy, has something to say, and should be allowed to correspond if he agrees to keep his disrupting posts to a minimum. Oh my gosh, did I really say that?

Yes you did Bill....And I will print it so that I have a hard copy....

As Dave said Bill "Yes you did" and yes I agree with everything that you wrote...

[QUOTE=Christopher Lien;14469]Bill, you are right... It was early in the morning, hadn't yet had my coffee, I shoulda just pulled the trigger and went straight through the middle of that darned bush... Never underestimate the power of O'l Murph's natural instincts, he always knows how to sniff out those previously banned "Fox's" in the thick BBS underbrush...

You are also correct about the ceramic collectors, The "Hunter Arms" folks are much more aggressive with their money when it comes to acquisitions of the rare Lenox Vases, pitchers, and other related trinkets... I kinda suspect KBM will not win the bet he proposed earlier on in this thread, would probably be best for him to just shoot that flat of 28ga RST's himself, or hold onto them for a future wager that is more a sure thing...

Over the years I've been continually amazed by some of the prices realized for various old gun company items, and if a guy is not careful he could eventually have more money in early advertising treasures than he does in guns... I wonder how those kind of gun advertising related investments will hold up over time?... Don't let the Clown catalogs get too close to fireplace, and be careful where you display those ceramic Hunter Arms Vases, in addition to being a little spendy, they are also very fragile, no high ledges...

Best, -- Christopher- Osthaus or Percival Rousseau? beautiful indeed- No artist of that Golden Era captured the muscular tension of the details of the dog's feet like Edmund H. Osthaus- now if only he shot Parkers instead of Remington doubles, hey??
