Thanks for Ampico Rolls Loaned for Recutting
By Michael Swanson

Dean Howe and I would like to thank Bruce Clark for the loan of two
very rare late Ampico B rolls for our recutting project.  We have never
met, but Bruce had no qualms about sending these rarities 3000 miles to
someone he didn't know.  He wanted to share these rolls, Ampico 71083
"Negro Heaven" by Cesana, and 216423 "The Yam", etc., by making them
available to the collector community.

It is our hope that Bruce's generosity will spur other collectors to
share their rare original rolls and make them available for recutting
now that we have the technology to make perfect replica copies.  This
benefits everyone by making rolls available that we would probably
never have the opportunity to own otherwise.  Thanks again, Bruce.
