easterneagle87 Posted July 6, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2022 Cleaning out a bunch of odd and ends. I found this letter and wonder if anyone recalls these businesses or collectors. MR. R.A Reiss, Military Antiques, Santa Monica, CA I think this collection was sold off. Aldershot District Medal & Militaria Society, Surrey England Looks like these guys are still functioniong.

manayunkman Posted July 6, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2022 I went to Bob Reiss’ place often back in the mid 1970s. He was quite the operator but I once found a WW2 German Officer mountain troopers cap that he had priced too cheap. One of the Osmond brothers was there one day and on another I saw Bob Hope.

easterneagle87 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted July 7, 2022 I believe a bunch of his collection was sold up here is Redding back in 2014-15. I bought a bunch of stuff. I heard someone say the collection was being brought out of Hayfork, CA. That's a small mountain town and pretty much out in the sticks. Santa Monica to there is quite a stretch. The mill closed years ago and now it has California's next major cash crop or a LOT of mary jane being grown around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted July 7, 2022 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2022 His shop in Santa Monica was full of worthless junk parading as rare items. I remember a fake panzer uniform on a manikin and you had to pay $5 to get in. Once when I showed up he had a ton of black leather panzer wrap arounds, I was never interested in a set but after seeing them all in piles around an overcrowded store full of fakes I never trusted them.
