LOL I'm in.

There are a few other big-time silk collectors who are members on here as well.
Interesting set with some still unknown mysteries to it. Check out the following site for some great info and images. Not my site, but a lot of the silks pictured on it are.

I have always especially liked seeing the silks actually used for what they were originally intended, to make pillows, covers and other fancy items for home decoration. Even says so right on the back of the ad-backed white version silks. If you go to the linked site, be sure to go to the RELATED ITEMS page, and then cursor down to the "Recommended Re-Use" section. Both those items demonstrate what these silks were actually supposed to be used for, and are both mine.

Should I try to remove the tape on this neat little pickup?? Oh and on the stats page I put a little black line next to one of the names I recognized

That's a very cool item! I would not attempt to remove the tape, personally.
