Sarcasmos,,, yeah thats a beauty of a HR! ,,, Rons of course too! [ I really prefer the 1st pattern HRs..]
You know way back when this was called 'The Don Boyle Honor Ring Forum' for a short while Don of course wanted collectors to post photos of their HR,,, but many times he'd suggest
not showing the name! Why? I don't remember but it didn't make sense what ever the reason was.... So, many old timers wouldn't show the name unless there was a real problem with the rest of the engraving... When I joined back then I suggested the complete opposite for many reasons...
Anyway,,, there are still some who won't show the name. I know a few collectors that don't even like to show
or even say they own a HR!! Again Why?!? maybe for security reasons [?],,,who knows
- Without using names we have a long time member here who didn't want to show the name,, goes way to back to the Don days.. He's a good guy with a fantastic HR. He was worried at first that if he showed the name it would be in danger of getting copied! I explained my position about it,,,that IF anything it would deter the ring getting copied! Once you showed it they the counterfeiters couldn't use that name,,,,It was the way to go.. Soon guys like John Peppera who had a bunch of HRs and started showing names and others followed suit..
You still might not get a lot of names as over the years the forum moved more towards PP rings.. Also,,pinned at the top there are a a couple topics that show the names in the HR. They are from the late great John Peppera.
* You are more than welcomed to copy the photos with names and re post them here...
- SO,,OK you closet collecting HR guys! put those names up here if you'd like..
