Net54 December contest....we have a WINNER
Posted By: leon
Here is a contest for all of us looking at the board on a nice Sunday morning. If these questions get answered too quickly (today), I will have another contest this coming week which will be "guess the final price", so even more folks can play. The winner will get this neat Ruth Stereoscope below....btw, there is a bonus question with this quiz. IF the winner guesses the bonus question right too, then they get $50 extra. You can decide if you want to wait and try to get the bonus or stick with the stereoscope. IF you try for the bonus and someone else answers all 3 questions before you then you lose both prizes. If they only answer the 1st 2 questions, then you still win as you were first. I will be the final decision on the contest in case of any issues. regards |

Keep going....I will show you the answers when someone gets it. Ya'll are close. On the bonus question you will need to be a little more specific. When I tell the answers you will understand. SO, who was publisher on the 1st question...and on the 2nd who did the "Introduction"? ....it's in black and white when I show you....thanks for thinking. Also, what better way to do a question than snooping around info related to the grandfather of collecting? regards |

The introduction was definitely Mayor; I don't see a publisher listed on my copy unless you consider it the Metropolitan Museum, however Burdick is credited with writing the Directory. |

I almost want to give it to you for making me sit here and laugh...... Again, I do have the pamphlet so I think I know what the answers are....please do re-read the questions as I rephrased them to be more precise. |

I bought my copy from the Museum many years ago but I guess it is a reprint. There is no publisher listed. |

My copy has the identical cover. But I'm sure it's been reprinted. Is yours an original? |

I don't see a date on mine but from the feel of it and the look of it I would say it's 40'ish years old.....so it might be the original... |

Max- I think Leon is saying the answers to his three questions are anything he wants them to be...I think he is running this contest like a police state! |

Actually, I am "looking" for the answers. As I said, I will "show and tell" when/if someone gets them correct. If this was easy it would have been over immediately. It's tough on purpose.... |

It's going to be Seymour somebody since leon is "looking" and I'm guessing that this person taught Leon at some point (perhaps a college professor) and hence the reference to "show and tell." |

Isn't Sir Edward Wharton Tigar Bertie Wooster's funny uncle, you know the one with a thing for waitresses, in the P. G. Wodehouse stories? Did Wodehouse create the Bruces as well? It's all starting to make sense. |
