I still have Lew's collection pinned in my favourites, I regret not having had the chance to purchase anything when it was being broken it up as I was not a member of this great forum back then.

It was a nice way to disperse his items all across the world giving something back to his family

I never corresponded with the man but he seemed to have been a great asset to the group.

Regards
Ken

Indeed, Lew have had a great eye for nice blades and generous by sharing his knowledge, miss him!

I have only partially cataloged my collection, my dream would be to show it online so the description is given for my items, to add a hidden price for my family would be easy, so when they want to sell the collection it would be simple to add a price by each item to sell it online.

I always wonder what happened to Vandoo's collection, it must have been quite large.

I had the privilige of having met Barry a few years ago when he was here in New Zealand, and I seem to remember that he had a daughter, so maybe she is now the proud owner of his extensive collection.

I'm surprised the Swap Forum is not more heavily used. For a new collector, it is an amazing way to ensure you are getting legit stuff filtered by the discerning eye of serious collectors. A lot of my favorite pieces came from there.

I started keeping an inventory a few years ago, photo's of the pieces and prices paid. A lot of the pics I post here are the ones taken for the catalogue file on my laptop, which is also saved at intervals on a plug in.
Comes in handy when I sell something, which I do from time to time.
