Pop quiz

Post by Steve »

I found this portrait of a well-known collector reflected in an old reel photo he sent me. Whoever first identifies the collector may receive the reel as a prize.

(Hint: It's a Henshall-Wan Antwerp reel.)

If you all can see a face/person reflected in that photo, I'm off to my optometrist because I am blind.... :?:

"Henshall-Wan Antwerp" is truly a rare one.
The spelling is correct; the reel is very pale and has almost no contrast, based on the pics.
It's gonna be a long day
Yeah, mine started at 4:30AM. You can see how productive it's been so far. :sleep:

But it makes the collection seem so much bigger!
Would that be Ron Gast?
IT IS Ron Gast.
Bingo! Each of you should be sure Ron has your address, but I'll let him decide where to send the reel.
Believe that be Thornton Ibbetson.

:lol: ...with any luck, Ron will cut it into 4 equal pieces. Or, take it apart and send each winner one piece.

Thanks for the morning "caffeine rush" Steve.
