I totally get the Southern fascination, as a proud (sometimes, anyway ) North Carolinian. I can’t imagine thinking the Old mills are aesthetically superior, but it’s definitely fun to collect stuff that’s from your own area.
The good thing is that whatever you decide now, it doesn’t have to be the last thing you collect.

You guys may or may not understand my logic (not sure I do even), but since I live in the South I decided to sell off the Obaks a few years ago to pursue more Southern-oriented issues, like the T210s. I feel like this time around, I need to choose one or the other. Honestly not sure which at this point. If I went with the Obaks, I would do series 2 again. If T210s, I would probably start with series 3. Aesthetically, I prefer the Obaks by a bit, but the draw of the regional southern T210s is strong as well.
Good stuff, guys! I really appreciate your scans. They remind me of the ones I had.
