Unfortunately Editor Bob isn't eligible for 25 years of collecting awards, since he has just turned 21 years of age. However, he has spent hours combing through multiple quarter centuries of catalogues and journals and has uncovered some great old advertisements never before shared with the hobby. For these contributions and those that will follow, our thanks.
