Some silverware

[Mr Wellner]

Hello fellow collectors!
Ive recently joined this forum and I have to say I am amazed at the variety and quality of collections displayed. Just incredible. Im still new to the game of collecting having just started 2 years ago but I can say I have the bug and have jumped in with both feet so to speak! My main interest is TR silverware but also have collected bits and pieces along the way. Here are a few photos of my collection,still a work in progress!. The cabinet I recently acquired after many months of searching. Now I see I will need to look for another.

Extremely impressive -- thanks so much for sharing! Such a vast collection is difficult to appreciate in detail, because of it's size; hopefully you'll share at least some of these pieces with us elsewhere among these Forums.

Your obvious long-time focus on this interesting area of our hobby is greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,

Br. James

That's a very interesting and large collection.
All I have is a spoon liberated from the SS school at Bad Toltz.

Mr. Wellner,
What an incredibly impressive display!
I for one am stunned and very pleased that you decided to share your Collection!
Just fantastic, beautifully displayed and arranged,
Each piece nicely labeled and cataloged- a real gem of a collection.

I too will enjoy any close-ups you care to post. My own preference is, as u probably know, rare schools. But anything you post will probably fascinate us all. Cheers Mr Wellner, and thanks again, through your dedication to your focus on the hobby, for helping me to validate my two humble Sonthofen Pieces! Best wishes on enlarging your Museum!
