Real SS Runes Ribbon Bar!

[Chris Taylor]

Wow Robin, nice bar!

Erich- we should both be so blessed to have the likes of either of these in our collection.

I believe in positive projection & here's my mantra, repeat 100 times daily - "I will have have a bar with SS Runes, I will have have a bar with SS Runes, I will have have a bar with SS Runes....."

rick, congrats on the bar... i am guessing this was the one that you mentioned to me. it's fantastic, and i'd love to score one... but i'm afraid my chances are slim all things considered.

robin... please do post the owner of that bar, if known. it's a great one too.

Wonderful bar, Robin. Thanks for sharing it. In the last 24 hours I have been hit by lightening and won the lottery!

Very nice bar, Robert. According to Ricks ribbon bar article, you have a nice original there, congrats

best,
Gerd

Thanks Gerd. I must be missing something here, by the ravings accorded this device. I've seen quite a few of these in minor collections over the years - why are they considered so rare all of a sudden?

Very nice bar, Robert. According to Ricks ribbon bar article, you have a nice original there, congrats

there are approximately 453,286 FAKES for every real one out there, and no sense at THOSE odds of finding a REAL one of simply telling the fakers how to make better fakes, na? The statistical odds of finding a REAL one are about the same as being hit by lightning or winning the lottery, despite the handfuls available at every show or constantly on eBay.<!-- / message -->

Ricky says it all. Real SS devices are verrrrry hard to find.

David beat me to it. Its true, REAL SS-runes on ribbon bars are extremly hard to find. I have never seen one in person and if the two Ricks have only seen a few of them over the years, i probably never will.

best,
Gerd

Rick also suggested that close-ups not be posted but what good did that do?

[RobertE]

If the closeup comment was directed at me, say so. The fakers don't need this forum as a sole source of information, and I believe the link provided in this thread directs us to a "here's a fake, here's a real one" section on the ribbons site.

As far as the rarity of these devices - we'll see. There's lots of them out there, but I agree they are getting harder to find.
