I have created a new forum where you can share your stories about Rumph. I was going to create a section on the main site for this, but I figured other users might want to make comments about a story. Well, when one user posts a topic and others reply - that's a message board. So there you have it. Enjoy!

After going to Antique and Collectible classes for several years, seeing and admiring any Rumph that came into class, I wished to see more. After looking in the yearly new collectible books such as Warmans, Kovels, and Schroders every year to see if they had as yet recognized Rumph with a category of his own, and never finding one, in 1998 I decided that if no one else was going to do it, I would make a book on Rumph. I emailed everyone who at that time was selling or buying Rumph on ebay, asking for information and pictures, They were generous, except for a few who were stingy, and I had a book with about 50 items printed and sold them to interested collectors on ebay. I updated it a few times, eventually getting to about 300 items pictured and several more listed without pictures. Along came this webmaster, and did far better than I did, by making this site. My book was no longer needed. I sent what pictures I had that this site did not have as yet, and folded up my book making business. I have since sold my collection of 30 some pieces. By my count, I have contributed about 15% of the pieces to this site. This is a great site, and I hope it remains so for a long time. Once in a while, one of my books comes up for auction on ebay. They have become collectible in their own right. Paul

I wish that someone would scan and share high-res images of Rumph written material -- tags, booklets, etc. It'd be nice to read those. Many of us have pieces but none of the written collateral that go along with those pieces. We're missing out on some of the lore!

I'd personally like to see the pages that give the explanations of Jim's cryptic symbols. I know these catalogs pop up on ebay occasionally, but they're usually more than I can afford. Also realize this is a response to a very old message, but maybe someone else out there can help. Peace, jw.
