Double-wow!

Another big WOW! Fantastic collection and great display cabinet.
Where are you going to put those Connie Haden cups?

Richard

Francis! Absolutely stunning collection. Congratulations! You've been very busy... It's clear that your cup monkey has mine whipped!

Best,

Doug

OUAH! (it's a French "WOW" to send you an international congratulation!)
Your collection and its display are really amazing!

Just a limit, IMO: it must be difficult to play with all of them. Some are quite out of reach.

You have a really cool crib!

Thanks, Guys.

Richard, the Connie Haden cups are at the top section of the inverted cup-shaped shelf, standing individually on three PF/DD cups. Actually there are also 2 brass PF/DD chick cups hiding behind them also.As per Cdmdu who is so right, this is my problem for having limited space. The collection takes quite a bit of effort and resource, I have to put the blame on Bill squarely, who got me hooked with this hobby!


Francis

I'll add another wow!! Beautiful Francis....

Fantastic collection, Francis, and so beautifully displayed. Congratulations!

Thanks Mike and Fortasse,

I am grateful to many of you that help me in different ways. Bill is an inspiration and I learnt and am still learning from him and his museum. Dale Houck gave me a quick start and was so helpful, a good friend. This forum accumulates tremendous amount of resources for newbies like me. I went through the discussions over the years, you probably don't realize how much each of you has contributed in the last 8 years or so.

Francis, I'm speechless (and that doesn't happen too often!) WNot only a wonderful collection (you've been busy!) but what a fantastic way of displaying them!

That is an impressive and wonderful collection Francis, and congratulations on the beautiful cabinet!

Francis… What a great find to see your display this morning, not having looked at postings over the weekend. I have to say WOW… double WOW! You have a great collection of Cups and a really beautiful cabinet to display them in.

Thanks for sharing the photos and giving me some display ideas once I ever get my magic room.

Bruce

Hi Bri,
I reserve some space for your cups.

Thank you Wandboy.

Donnie, the lowest shelf are all Ring N Things and RNT2s. You got to stop producing new cups; and

Bruce, great to hear from you again. Don't use glass base like I do, the cups are too heavy, unless you keep to 1 row of cups per shelf.

Francis

Francis… thanks for the tip regarding the glass… I will keep that in mind. I do like the mirror background and thought the L -shape very unique. The concept of the Cup-shaped insert is pretty cool too… again WOW!

I look forward to when you complete photos of all the Cups… and you have many.

Thanks,
Bruce

Just added a few new cups to the museum. Check the database using 4/15/2011 as the date.

One set is a partial set used by Cellini -- generously donated by Marianne Heller. That was very nice of her.

An amazing collection Francis! I see some of my old friends on your shelves and I see they are in great company! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, Francis.

Laurie

Hey Dale, thanks. Like the Shell case you got, they look more majestic as cups.

Love the monkey fists, Laurie, they have been initiated into the family.

Francis

That's a wonderful family for them, thankyou.
