helmar art
Well, people buy what they like I guess!
Did you ever wonder why Helmar spelled backwards is Ramleh? I always wondered if this was deliberate and if the 2 companies are actually one! Thanks, Bill

The stuff is pretty cool, goes to show originality makes money. I won a bottle top lock from them a year or so ago and it really looks cool, excellent craftsmanship. They had a few other things I liked but bids got to high.

I agree the stuff looks neat but I think it is bringing way more than newly made stuff should. I saw the bottle tops and they were fairly cheap, ok I can see that. But this stuff is bringing prices as if it were vintage almost. I also don't like the fact that they make them to look old and do not put a production date on them.

Neat looking stuff but somewhere along the line some poor sap(s) unfamiliar with this stuff is going to get screwed.

As I understand it, the Helmar name resulted from a lawsuit by Ramly against Ramleh for infringing on its trade name. I think there was an article about it published some time ago, but I don't recall where.

I have bought a few of the players I collect. Well done, wouldn't call them junk but lately they have gotten fairly pricey for what they are.

I'm w/ Dan on this one! I think there is shilling going on from a couple of ID's w/ high % of bids--the prices are insane!
