Date Added: Friday 15 October, 2010 I reseived my Hathaway Patent Writing Kit today. Delivered in 5 working days.
Everything arrived safely.
The packing of the ink bottle in bubble wrap was a good idea. It arrived safe and sound.
I am very impressed with the Hathaway writing kit.
After studying this kit for twenty years and making a very poor imitation, I at last have an authentic reproduction that looks exactly like the images I have studied.
The utility of the item is evident on first sight.
The heft and texture suit my experience of period items.This is like an antique in the making.
The ink bottle is over the top and completes the whole. I could never replicate or substitute such a faithful reproduction.
I could have spent $1500 dollars or more buying an original and looked at it, now I have one that I can use in the field.
Sincerest congratulations on such an exquisite rendering.
Anyone who acts as a staff officer or company officer will enjoy this kit for its compact form and versatility. In fact any reenactor who writes home will benefit.
Ths review may seem over the top, but this item is over the top.
I own your Short's pattern knapsack, which is my favorite and a John Peterson Bartholomae canteen. This writing kit is on their level.
Can you make me a painted ground cloth of the weight in this kit as I could carry two and never no any weight.
I am so very pleased and await the balance of the order so that I can send another order to help my wife with her Christmas shopping.
