Just a short note to let you know that the above-mentioned helmet arrived this afternoon ( 020604 ) by UPS courier. I have verified that it is an authentic original hat of its type and requires only some minor detail work to restore to full operating condition. I would like to add that I am very pleased and impressed with the prompt, diligent, straightforward and professional -- yet friendly and courteous -- manner in which this transaction has been conducted. Please convey my regards to all concerned. I will contact you in the near future concerning purchase of the Scott Hydro-Pak as well as other possible items of interest. Thank you so much for your time and assistance in handling our recent purchase ---- it has certainly been a pleasure doing business with you! Yours Sincerely, Earl

Hi - I called into your amazing shop a few months back and only just got round to looking at the site . This is brillo and Funtastic and I will be calling in soon ! Kind regards Giles

The Helmsmans Helper arrived this morning in great shape. What a beautiful instrument. Thank you very much.

If you have time, I'd love your opinion on the chances of a day trip down to visit your store as described below. If this item is an indication of the quality of your merchandise, you must have some fantastic things in your store. Regards, Bill

I received the Shackle today ( Saturday ), and I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me get it. It will go real good with that 6 inch brass minesweeper chain I previously purchased. I like the changes to your webb site, and I will be watching it more now. If a brass bollard comes wandering in, please let me know. Best Regards & Cheers,  Ray

About three weeks ago I bought a set of cutlery and a few other silverplated items (while my husband relieved you of a number of Jane's).  You gave me a recipe for cleaning silver, using foil/bicarbonate of soda/boiling water.  Just thought I would let you know it really brought up the shine, and there are very few pieces I will need to hit with the silver polish.  Thanks a lot, because this has really saved me a lot of work.  See you next time we are in Devon when I plan to add to my collection. Regards, Cheryl

Wanted to let you know that I received the cargo light last week on Wednesday the 17th. The box was quite beat up but the light was packed well so it was in fine shape. It is a really nice specimen and is exactly what I was looking for. Now to figure out how to wire and hang it...

I had to write you all to let you know that I received the PROP END TODAY! I can't thank you all enough for your hard work in getting this amazing piece to me. What an adventure! I just opened the lid of the INCREDIBLE BOX to peek inside! SO COOL! Now I am tortured waiting on a few strong buddies to come over to give me a hand taking it out. This will definitely be the center piece in my display. I am going to refinish the trolley it is sitting on next! I will send you guys lots of pics when it is set up. I am totally fired up and had to thank you all. When things mellow out over their send me some pics and prices of the
other units as I may need to buy another for myself or a fellow collector. It is awesome. Thanks again SO MUCH!!!! Jason

Well Richard. The extra $$$ for packing paid off. After having received two model ships from ebay all smashed up I was really hoping Benvolio would make it through. That was quite a crate. I had to "deconstruct" the crate. I doff my cap to you. Very professional job. The model is every bit as good in person if not better. That's quite a fine looking detailed piece of artistry. Great job, terrific model. Best, Jim

Just wanted you to know that the light we purchased from you arrived here safely. It is beautiful...! There was a note inside asking if we would send a photo once in place....I would be more than happy to. House will not be finished till the first of summer. Thanks again for packing well and getting our light to us safely. If you ever come across a lens for a beacon, please let me know. Sue, Iowa
