The most interesting thing that I left the thread with is how much I miss decent sausage. When I was in Germany I ate some wonderful Bratwurst, absolutely fantastic with strong, ice-cold pilsner. Bratwurst that good is somewhat elusive, here in England.

 

I had thought that it would be necessary to go over to Germany again to recapture that excellence, but apparently there are some world-class examples of this sausage produced in Wisconsin.

And why not?

 

Most of Germany emigrated to that area and surrounding states in the 1800's, including my ancestors...

So you can't get a sausage that gives you what you need?

The Wisconsin ones really aren't as desirable as the German ones. 2c

Anyone know what copy of Tec 27 he has? I wonder if he has the Allentown...

 

It's my understanding that he does not have the Allentown.

 

There is a 9.2 on the census and he may own that one now but it's not the Allentown.

 

I believe the Allentown is still raw

 

 

He had a raw Tec 27 :gossip: It's in the pictures of the collection that you never looked at.

Exactly the reason I asked the question Frank, tried to find a good picture of it but can't :(

isnt the allentown said to be a 9.6?

He owns neither the 9.2 nor the Allentown. Wuss.

 

I know he doesn't own the Allentown. Not sure who owns the 9.2 but it's stateside

I suggested to the owner of the 9.2 that this collector might be "the" buyer for it... hm

 

Whoa, careful cutting in on the NY boys' action laddie... you don't want to hear either one of these:

"I made him an offer he couldn't refuse."

 

"The wheels are in motion!"

Here's a line I would like to read in one of the articles...

 

"Never has a collection so quickly been assembled with so little effort on the collectors part"

 

I see we're back to 'big deal, he's rich'.

 

The dude is 37; him not being around in the 1970s to pay $1500 for his Action 1s doesn't make his collection less awesome, or less of an achievement. Effort is required to amass wealth, even more effort is required to keep wealth, therefore effort facilitated the purchase of this collection.

 

 

Well said.

Happy he is letting people see it.

Yeah thats a plus. Has there ever been a public display or photos/scans made available of the mile high action 1?

 

As far as effort required to amass wealth I thought he inherited his fortune?

 

In any event the source of his wealth shouldn't be an issue here imo. He loves the books and has spent time to collect them so he is a 100% legit collector in my book. Just another example of how sometimes its better to be lucky than smart.
