#1Hello everyone,
While my collection is very small (only 13 rare cuffs) what it lacks in size, I make-up for that with my own knowledge of each piece. It is actually more fun to research "patent-stop" or "Romer & co" than it is to bash each other about what they do not own/know. I have only been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and I have gained more info on my cuffs than I have in the past 2 DECADES! The owner(s) of this website deserve great credit for their efforts! Thank-you very much!
What prompted me to post, was that in nearly every thread, some guy named "Steve" butts-in with some vicious attack on other's knowledge or even their personal OPINION. It is obvious you are a treasure-trove of info in your chosen field, however, this "one-uppmanship" behavior makes you appear jealous. I can speak about this, because when I was back in grade school (5th grade I think), I tried to impress my classmates with polished bull****. While it worked for a while, And I had plenty of people to talk to, I soon found myself without many ACTUAL, GENUINE, TRUE, REAL friends.
"Let bygones be bygones", as they always say!
Thanks again for this WONDERFUL website!!!
Cheers,
