Just picked up B-1723 in a trade.

One of the nicest, unmolested mint original risers I have seen in a long time.
She still sports her original calf hair strike plate and rug rest too.

In vintage-bear's post of 30 March 2011, he writes

"I have in the past encountered A,B and C risers having the same serial #  ie......... I onced owned A-1760 and sold it to a fellow collector who owned B-1760 who then knew the whereabouts of C-1760. Interesting."

I have noticed this too: A and B numbers 1831 and A and B numbers 2098 on the CrookedStick's compilation lists.

Is there any explanation for this?

[CrookedStick]

As promised, B-Riser list is updated. I was able to add quite a few risers tonight from my notes and yours as well as grabbing info from any auction notices I see and any risers I see in person.

Please go through the list and see if you can provide any more info as needed. Some of the listings only have serial numbers and no other info. I'll still list the numbers, just for recording purposes, but if you can add background info as well, original finish, rh/lh, etc, that would be great.

Thanks for your help with this. The list is growing nicely.

Hi Bernie.
I have a question regarding B riser
serial # B-1075 RH.

On one of my trips to the plant and museum while visiting Frank Scott,I had an opportunity of handling PapaBear's B riser with Frank.

The above serial # is ringing a bell. I may be wrong ofcoarse as I cannot locate the photos I have of it. Do you have record of his serial #?

Thanks in advance.........Philip

[cacciatore]

Bernie,thanks for a great work!
