[Knight_ridergta]

I am thinking about getting this piece of AH Flatware from Brent, your thoughts and comments on it would be greatly appreciated:

Item #: BA2948

Thanks!

I really want to buy from Brent but then saw the pieces over here for about the same price

As with anything, it comes down to personal preference. Some like pieces that show the history, others prefer polished.

I have bought from Brent and Bill [as have most readers of this thread] and both are great to deal with. You will have no problem with either.

Thanks! Now it comes down to choices

I certainly agree with CPB -- Brent and Bill are both solid dealers, they know their stuff and they are reliable. (I've also dealt with both and have always been pleased by their items.) I also note that Brent seems to have added a wide selection of the AH Informal Pattern to his site over the past few days...and as you know, that is my favorite design!

Do let us know what you choose, Aaron!

I am leaning towards the Formal pattern but will let you you guys know which one I chose, I'm almost there. I have saved up almost enough funds now just have to make sure to buy the wife flowers when I pick the piece of flatware up

You can't go wrong with either guy but my personal preference is Brent when looking to buy AH silverware.

[Knight_ridergta]

Brent does have some nice pieces and his informal teaspoon is looking nice for me pricewise as when the baby comes I won't be collecting for a while most likely

Yep babies have a way of putting hobbies on hold.

You got that right! I just be able to look and dream

Dreaming is ok but children always comes first and it sounds like you have your priorities in the right place. Silverware will be there when you're ready to buy.

Family first! Maybe I can get my child collecting too, I'm sure that's many a collectors dream that doesn't come true!
