WOW! Let it out Bob. In this instance I'm going to refrain from adding any additional comments as I feel Bob and many others have made good points. I must confess myself in the last year I have stopped looking in like I used to although of late I've made the effort to just pick out the things I like to view and pass on the rest. I have always enjoyed the FATW, pics from the past threads the best. I love history and these really speak to it. Hobbies will move and change with the times and not always for the better. Someone posted earlier about plastic signs being more prevalent. That is just a natural progression as time moves on and newer, younger people enter the hobby. It's what they relate to and remember. I myself think they have their place. Not everyone can afford the prices of porcelain, or globes for that matter.
Bob, you know my specialty is in light bulb tins. It has been my intention to try and do a kind of small history and "guide" to collecting them. I'm just trying to find an afternoon I can put forth the full effort I'd like to put into it. I know it's a small niche of collecting, but it has it's charms which I hope to enlighten people on. So I will be contributing to the best of my ability to the forum you hold so dear.......ME TO.

........Dave
