EK 1939 "Old Stock" EK1 Spangen From Rex Reddick

[Scott]

Received my latest Rex Reddick flyer in the mail, and he's advertising "Old Stock" EK1 spangen. He cleverly avoids saying they're authentic period pieces (which anyone knowing RR and noting the price would know better). Just thought I'd share for others to beware.

Nicely worded add and a great price, why, I just want to run right out and buy one before they're gone!!

Thanks for the warning Scott.

Scott, Is this from a current catalogue? If so what is the ordering phone number? I am not buying one, I just want to call him a tell him what I think of his BS ad.

Rex doesn't sell original anything.

ALL of his wares are reproduction,

and i've not known him to attempt to

beguile or mislead.

i think he will listen to your concerns,

but i'm not concerned with where his

heart is.

Lots of use of the word "original" and "quality" but not one "reproduction." What the heck is "old stock" implying?

Doooooooood! 1993 was like, so way back in time!

Paul, it's a current flyer I received last week. At the last SOS I signed up to receive these to keep an eye on the repro market. I found the spangen description unusual for RR since he doesn't usually get this close to deceptive marketing of his items.
