Hey everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself to the board. My name is Chris Hornung. I've been a member for over a year but this is my first post. My area of interest is turn of the century football equipment, which I've been collecting for about 10 years. I know that this is primarily a baseball board, but that sometimes other sports are discussed. I just re-launched my website, www.antiquefootball.com which has several articles on the history of football equipment, collecting and preservation. If you have any interest, please check it out. I hope to update the site with new articles every couple of weeks. If you have any ideas for future articles, please let me know! Thanks!

Hey Chris. It's been a long while, hope all is well. Great to see the site updated - wow!! I've had a link to your site, on mine, for years and many have asked me when it would be completed . What an evolution - stunning, and a fantastic resource. Is that your collection in the showcase? One of the most magnificent displays/rooms I've ever seen. Do you ever leave it?.. I look forward to finding more time to dig through your site more.

-Cheers
Joe

Chris, that display room is unreal! Waiting to settle in for the night tonight so I can spend some more time browsing thru the site. It looks great.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. Yes, the collection is mine. It took about 5 years to build (and pay for) the room. Two kids curbed my efforts for awhiile. I usually head down to the room in August and come back out at the end of college football season.

My plan is to do a free monthly newsletter with different research and collection stories. If you want to receive them, you can sign up using the link in the top right of the home screen. Take care,

Chris

Welcome to Net 54.
Vintage Football is my favorite category and you have an outstanding room! Can't imagine anything topping having a glass of scotch and watching monday night football in that room. Great site!

Thanks Carlton!

I actually sold the Schmelzer last year to afford the completion of the room. It was a hard choice, but what good is a collection if you can display it? It found a very good home with an advanced collector.

I'm sending you an email in a few minutes.
