Post by DAVE SMITH »

I was speaking with Marilyn Glawson a few days ago about Fine Gold and what had become of the workshops now.
she also was talking about items they would like to sell now that the store had finally closed.
I asked if she would like me to post this on the forum as I was thinking it would be a good idea to try and share some of these items among his friends before anyone who never new Rick would purchase them.
This is her letter to me and a break down of some of the items they would like to sell now .

We finally closed the store as you know, last year. It's difficult to believe that Rick has been gone
six years as of March 10, 2009. So many people flocked to Rick's shop over the
years, as he dispensed unlimited free information to the trade.
It was his life and passion as you well know. We were begged to keep the store open, and we did
for a few more years. However, with Rick gone, so went the wealth of his knowledge
and his invaluable advice for which we admittedly were unable to fill the void.
There were so many issues as well, from the poor economy, to poor
parking, and one of the dear ladies who answered the phone here for us had a stroke, which thankfully
she will make a full recovery from. However, it seemed the right time to close the doors.

We've done a complete inventory, and boxed up all remaining product, and hope to sell to someone
interested in this trade for a bulk price if you know of anyone who may be interested.

There are a number of things for sale, that have to be sold, moved, stored, something,
as we are changing the use of the building. For example, the antique showcases,
a large motorcycle sign, plus Rick's rather large collection of antique
container's of product having to do with the trade (many with product still in them), and the three wall showcases he displayed part of that collection in.
We may also sell his front window sign, "Fine Gold Sign Company."

We have an antique tin that was prominently displayed in his store, which is a commercial display for tea which is now for sale, a biscuit tin, and one of Ricks safes.
Also selling abalone and MOP, (raw 33 gallon), sheets of various types of MOP and abalone, etc.

Would appreciate your posting the following to the LetterHead site as you suggested.
