    • I wonder whether Gundry relates to the "Bridport Gundry" rope and netting company? I visited them with my father, when he was on business there, in the early 70s, but I believe they are no longer in operation. It was fascinating to see the rope making process and the number of different uses rope and netting could be put to!
    • Agreed, though I do presume there is some bias in our views. Taylor restrikes are over a hundred years old by now and have their own history in their own right. Similiarly, Tanner pieces for Cromwell coins are desireable for it. It is possible that the Edward VIII fantasy pieces in some a hundred years or so are viewed in a similiar light - though I am uninclined to think so as the Taylor/Tanner pieces were derived from original tooling and modern fantasy pieces are pretty accessible nowadays. Only time will tell their desireablility I suppose, though I am doubtful they will be as loved.  TLDR: Maybe as they get their own history they'll be interesting.
    • I found this £1 note ticket in with a coin lot I recently bought. Absolutely nothing to do with my items, and always sad, especially when someone has gone to such troubles to document an item in this way!
    • I do like those restrikes by taylor, so will handled and such beauties ,you get nothing like that in say the edward viii fantasy patterns  of recent years
