I wonder where Krupp gained knowledge of gyroscope technology

This is the remains of great aunt Edna’s house





...went out and left the gas on, dozy mare.

What you don't know is that each "eye" is in fact a gyroscope.

Are you sponsored by the joke known as Krupp? Constantly defending, outright lying about "how good and class leading they are"?


I vote to ban him, imagine new young stirring enthusiasts coming upon this thread of vast knowledge, and you see his bile about Krupp?

My latest barn find. A late Hank Wangley, in A++ condition.

I exchanged a well used Skegness light blue for it.

I think the expression Eldar is ‘a spade’s a spade’ not ‘a spade’s a spoon’. Also, can you find a piece of paper without any crease in it to display your wares, it displays a level of amateurishness not in keeping with this thread and being honest I expected better from you.

[Blib]

I agree. You need a special level of amateurism to match wolfracesonic.

Hysterical.

Mumble mumble, kettle, mumble, pot, mumble mumble black....BTW we’ve not had any ‘totally new concepts in stirring’ for at least a couple of days, have the Krupp sheep finally ran out of wool that can be pulled over peoples eyes?

I heard a rumour that they're moving into forks and are even considering knives. I can't see them mastering a knife and fork tbh.

Paper? The finest Mali blonde vellum, as is obvious to anyone with more brain cells than nostrils.

I'll give you the bowl is distinctive. Suits Nevada oolong perfectly. Im astounded you aren't conversant with this.

I know, the paint work on that display cabinet is shocking.

That's not a display cabinet, it's the exterior woodwork of the cheap tat souvenir kiosk opposite Bath Station, badly weathered with a quick coat of vinyl emulsion slapped over the top with no preparation at all.

Sums it all up really...

Well we've all seen countless "triple flute" teaspoons from the Master himself, but here in a shop aimed at tourists I spotted a "quad flute" from the hand of Knopft himself. Not only that, it has the overround bowl and a misaligned porcelain inlay of the catherdral.

To call this rare would be like calling Hugle Knopft a mere artisan.

I snapped it up for just £20.00 and it is coming up for auction in Zurich next month. Reserve price a modest five thousand euros, I expect to see a clear profit of ten thousand.

Some of these shops don't know what they have.

Yes they do, gullible punters for a start. Have you tried the magnet test? I would if were you or else you’re going to look pretty foolish on the auction block.

Die cast is both cheaper than poor steel and non magnetic. Melt in hot tea, though.

Both wildly missing the fact that a similar matching pair of eponymous Bath keyrings, as shown in the picture above, went for just over £3 million at Christie's last month.

The blue lettering is in a one-off Helvetica variant designed by Max Miedinger himself for a limited run of just 12 such keyrings, commissioned in 1968 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the granting of regal patents by George III to the Theatre Royal in Bath. The pure white ceramic wafers are inlaid with Bath's heraldic design in platinum and the iconic "Keyring" in sintered Chalcanthite on the weather face, with the reverse aspect bearing Miedinger's signature and a serial number both embossed in Peruvian high-mountain silver, a vanishingly rare grade of the metal which is always mined from rock at least 6,300 metres above mean sea level, a requirement enshrined in law by the Congreso de la República del Perú in the Commerce Code of 1902.

The unique kerning finesse and cap height flourishes of the principal font - Miedinger himself always referred to it as Neue Haas Bad Grotesk - on these pieces makes them wildly sought after by wealthy typographic aficionados - the pair sold at auction in March are believed to have been purchased by a principal member of the House of Saud, and those were listed as out-of-sequence serials 06 and 09 - a pair with consecutive serials could easily command double the sum paid for 06 and 09, and the holy grail of 01 and 02 - believed to be in the Gates collection - perhaps double that again.

As a matter of casual interest, where and when was this picture taken? PM only please.
