Weknow this is inconveniencing new buyers but please look at the attempt atnegative response left for us by “a buyer - would be competitor\" who\'sfakes we continually exposed and who had no intention to pay. We have therefore blocked buyers who havenot registered a payment card and thus forced the identities out and reportedthem to while blocking that identity from further disrupting our genuineclients.

Questionsand Answers – We have had repeat questions on frequency of Lady Owner’s,how to spot replicas and why we don’t leave response.

Lady Owners - The vastmajority of now well over 12,000 belts sold to us came from ladies who wantedrid and indeed as one of our customers has pointed out nearly all primaryteachers were women. We have lots ofmale ex-teachers who have telephoned for estimates still holding on to beltseither for posterity or hoping values will increase. With loads of Ms Dick’sspongy replicas now being recycled they may have missed the boat - fortunatelywe did not.

Replicas - It’s difficultto be sure from photos as many have a real stamp but on inspection of the beltsthe leather is obvious as \'new\' even where they have been \'doctored\' by dye,scores, scratches and names written on them etc. The stamps are often too deepand clear and most are in the nearly 23inch(metric) length although we haveseen some copies in 24inch version – only a few so far in 21inch length - good21s are mostly in the older dense leather anyway and the replicas so far don\'tcrack on the surface when flexed or folded. Lots of customers now email for ouropinion pre-offerding as many buying fakes have not had refunds. The drop invalues due to this and the economy might limit what comes on the internetsales but beware these replica \'Lochgelly belts\' are now finding their wayinto established antique and general sales up and down the country. Wehave now had 11 good long term clients sell us back their entire collectionswhich will be saleed on following the sales of our recent privatepurchases unless previously traded.

response - We only leave response if requested. Most of our clients do not wish responsewhich can identify them and their offerding levels. We take great care to protect the personaldetails of both buyers and sellers of our stock.
The Managementof Church Antiques would like to thank you for looking at the Tawses we havefor sale and we would very much appreciate response from all our customers whohave purchased from us. We have now detailed the weight of each Tawselisted and should be used only as a guide. These weights are approximate and tothe nearest gram. The scales we use are very accurate but the manufacturer hasspecified that the information is NOT LEGAL FOR TRADE.
