Fox Collectors

All good comments.... I think Dave may have something with the certain period of time supposition. Good thread.

Great question Craig. I have been very fortunate to handle many very high grade Foxes and some were coated and some were not. The ones that were coated looked perfectly done, not slopped on by a layman. Seen many original finish Foxes with remnants of a coating on the sides of the BPs. I wouldnt put...

.........you made a splendid choice Craig. We're fortunate to have Brian around here.

Yeah Researcher, sometimes I wish I hadnt sold the 32" BE 20. Had it in my collection for awhile but it just didnt have enough condition to stay here.

Brett, good catching up with you in L'ville. Good show. Nice to see tables full & a strong crowd on Saturday. Definitely better than the last show there.

Thanks for digging out those pictures Craig. That was a one-time hellacious display in depth, breadth & QUALITY ! I remember Dana being amazed/disappointed on how few attendees really paid attention to the display as a whole. I still miss him to this day.

I liked the engraving as well.... ends about there. Frankly, it went for less than I thought it would.

Craig,
Did you get an impression that Nellie "missed the little ankle biter" while she was away?

If you have a Perazzi (plastic hard case) with a crumbled deteriorated interior that you want to have restored to like new contact this man- Jim Lyon hm 860 684 7818 cell 860 933 3687 Great work, reasonable, fast turnaround. Much better than paying big money++ for a new one. He just did my 3 persona...

Dave,
That is the version that I have.
