Found a couple early Bruce Bumps

[sunshadow]

I was in New York at the met last week, looking at swords and stuff (there are surely a couple of Stacy Apelt swords in there)
and I turned a corner and . . . there in the case were some early Bruce Bump pieces!

and if you look at the blade for this one it has an entire calendar engraved on it!

You guys had me going there for a minute

Those are outrageous! Very cool designers in those days. I think the "Industrial Revolution" and the Television really set back our imaginations. Those makers of old saw things so much different than we do now.

Thanks Page! You made my day!:thumbup::thumbup:

My swords aren't antiques yet. (although my very first ones are approaching 50).
Those are real nice pieces.
