Sweet cross Bill, or as Mr. Havercamp might say, "That's a peach". These so-called hybirds or transitional crosses have a very unique place/niche' in the collecting community. I know that Bill has been a fan of these for some time now, and I have to admit, the more I see of these type crosses, the more fascinated I am with them. I'm fortunate and lucky enough to have one of these that is a Deumer marked ekI cross. I can see someone collecting only these, and with time, luck, and money, could put together quite an interesting collection from several makers, coming in both marked, and unmarked versions, and both pinback and screwback versions of these little beauties. In this thread alone, I've seen two that I would be very happy to have in my collection.
