Many of you with whom I've spoken, know that due to a house fire, I lost a collection that took over 23 years to amass.....Well, I started up again, in March of this year, and these photos are of the items that I've managed to gather, so far.....(by the way, as you'll see, I'm still looking for a Mutterkreuz in Bronze....)
Rather than thanking individual members who have given me their time, expertise and even an occasional small item or even a great deal on a BIG item, I'll just say to the MANY who have done so, thank you.
Those small words can't express the massive gratitude I hold for my new family, here.....

Bob.

Im sorry to hear about your loss and it look like your off to another good start. Good luck and thanks for sharing. Mark

Bob, sorry to hear about the loss of your collection. As long as you and your family are OK, that's the most important thing. Your new collection looks to be off to a great start.

hello Bob,
losing a collection that way must have been devastating. I can`t imagine how I would cope with that & I think many would have thrown in the towel for good. I think you have done remarkably well in such a short time & have very nice items there. Good for you!!
I wish you every sucess & happiness for the future & look forward to seeing your collection as it grows.

regards

Vaughan

Devastating. I maintain that if I were to loose my collection, which is insured, that would be it for me. I'd take the $$ and run. I don't think i'd have the heart, the time, the effort, the conviction and the patience to rebuild.

Good for you Bob. I think it's wonderful that you are moving forward and keeping in the game.
