Paul ConradStill looking for quality wings!www.conradwings.com I am bored prefixing everything I say with "I think" or "in my opinion".Everything I say is my opinion; the only thing of which I am certain is that there is very little of which one can be certain.

pconrad02 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Guys, I'll post them as I get them, no links yet!

IMPERIAL QUEST Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 As nice as I am sure all of the items are, unfortunately their association with Mr. Campbell alone will probably cost a small fortune...then you of course have to tack on the price of the wing. So, I guess I will just have to dream... Link to post Share on other sites
bschwartz Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I can only imagine the amazing items that will be in that auction. Oh if I only had the money. It will be fun to watch the process though and I can't wait to see more pictures. I just wish I could own one thing knowing that it came from Duncan's collection.

John T Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I would think the collection will have wings, early belt plates, early cap plates and more as I know he had these attributed to him in books I have read. I would love to get at least a lot or two from the collection for myself but if I do not life goes on. John Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to get at least a lot or two from the collection for myself but if I do not life goes on. John Fakes...all fakes. Nothing to see here, move along....move along! Dont bother to bid....move along! I believe that our esteemed J Duncan Campbell was an expert on many things. I had the pleasure of talking with him a couple of times, and I have to say he was a real scholar and gentleman. We wing collectors lost a national treasure when he passed.

none Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 One of the 1913 is a Blackinton. The other Rock Island. Link to post Share on other sites
mars&thunder Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm sure if we all try, we can find at least one thing to bid on. Link to post Share on other sites
VolunteerArmoury Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Did Butterfields publish an auction catalog for this particular auction? I'd imagine it would a be reference material in itself at least for the photos. Be well, Chad C. Rogers Retired Army Link to post Share on other sites
