Bob,
I seem to remember you once told me that your face to face clientel is real fond of the Barlows also. We talked about how regions can make a differnece in what is most popular. I know alot of collectors these days are internet based but do you find that you have more in a particular region than another? Your clients all have good taste - the burnt stag is a beauty no matter what you put it on and I happen to know thier dealer is first class.

Since I've been a Distributor with GEC,they haven't made a run of Barlows.Every one that I've had I got from Ryan or Christine's returns.And I've sold any and all immediatley on sight.So far I really haven't noticed particular patterns being more or less popular in certain regions.I think,as I tell my customers,that's why there are so many patterns and handle materials,everyone has their own favorites. I do think that the popularity and collectability of Great Eastern Cutlery is growing by leaps and bounds.Once people see them and handle them,they're sold.

MAX,

I got the book in July when we went to Pa. I got about 1/2 way through it and now have been travelling so much I have not had a chance to finish it :( Looking forward to being home for a few weeks next month, maybe I can finish then

I got the book earlier this year at the GEC open house and have enjoyed it as well, the history is really something to see.

Here's another classy pattern.
