Introduction to Allach: Article..   

Wanted SS ZA Stickpins!!

The S.O.S  I will have to wait to hear how many made out at the show and made it there Wednesday night, having obtained several pieces out of the woodwork in the last month or so I was curious as to what may pop up with the economy as it is. I did manage to grab an Allach Rearing Stallion in the bar the night before set-up, glad I did as it was the only real Allach to be had other than some smaller more common figures. Overall the show was good with most of serious collectors present and a good crowd. It was nice to see people after a year or so and the usual gatherings took place each night with stories and good cheer. 

Ringing in The New Year:  Rings were the topic it seems and no less than nine Honor Rings were certified by Don Boyle at the show, only one was deemed a copy and Boyle certificates were prominently displayed at tables with their new caretakers either for display or available to prospective buyers who seek to enter the market with a much needed insurance policy from the most noted authority on the SS Honor Ring.

Also Present was Gaspare Bua, who's long awaited book on private purchase rings is now coming to fruition. The most noted authority on these rings, Mr. Bua's book will no doubt be a must have in a collector's library and I am looking to getting my hands on it myself as I was looking at several rings myself and at least a couple were known fakes. Should make 2010 the year of rings.
