Special Display
Each year it becomes a challenge to think of a
Display that will be different, but informative
and educational. We always strive to have pieces
in the display that provide something that
increases your interest and maybe there will be
items you have not seen for some time or maybe
you did not know it even existed.
This years subject
“SUPER RARITIES” was suggested by Tom Mordini
and I think it will be a very informative &
educational display. We are looking for items
where there may only be one or two of a kind.
The ‘SUPER RARITY” does not necessary indicate
that it is “SUPER EXPENSIVE”. Some times we
think that if it is not “SUPER EXPENSIVE” it is
not a “SUPER RARITY”. We want a display that
covers the complete range of “RARITY” from the
very expensive to some of the obscure pieces
that maybe only you know about its “RARITY”. I
am sure that you will hear someone say “I have
never seen that piece and I did not know it
existed”.
So each of you
search through your collection and see what
pieces that you would share for this display. It
may be “SUPER EXPENSIVE” or it may be a “SO
WHAT” but whatever it is, it would be good to
share so others may see and learn.
The rarity of the
item may be because of the COLOR, PATTERN, SHAPE
or whatever makes it a “SUPER RARITY”. Do not be
reluctant to bring your piece just because you
do not know about its rarity, if you believe it
to be then bring it.
THIS DISPLAY, AS
IN THE PAST, WILL REQUIRE THE HELP OF MANY
MEMBERS. IT WILL BE APPRECIATED IF YOU WOULD
SEND YOUR LIST TO ME SO I CAN INCORPORATE IT
WITH LISTS FROM OTHERS.
I WILL NEED TO
KNOW --- MAKER --- COLOR ---- PATTERN ----
SHAPE.
