" The Big Butch " / Warren Rogers?

Anyone remember a guy, went by the ebay handle " The Big Butch "? He was an extremely well thought of Trap Collector. Sadly passed about fifteen years back. I'm almost sure I remember his name was Warren Rogers? Gerstell showed one of his B&L #1's in his book.

Anyway ..... Cutting to the chase; I got on extremely well with " Uncle Butch ", as I called him. And he mentioned a ~ then ~ youngster he knew. Lad was into vehicle registration plates. I was in england, at that time. I managed to get an english plate and send it to this kid, via Butch.

Youngster would now be a man. I'd like to get in touch with him. Anyone, please feel free to talk to me here, or by PM.

My thanks to the Mod who guided me here.

To the top.

Good luck in your search. Hopefully you can find the guy you are looking for.

Thanks, guys. I haven't given up in the best part of fifteen years. No intention of doing so now

It just bugs me that a friend of a once very dear friend might appreciate what is becoming an ever more desirable old number plate. It's sat on my shelf. And when I go? It'll probably be there till nature reclaims this place.

Just to throw in here; If anyone has a copy of Gerstell knocking about? I'm pretty sure the Blake and Lamb is mentioned in like the introductory chapter of the book? #1? Ancient and funny looking little thing. Something about the pan shape? There's a photo.

It credits the trap as being in the (I'm sure it says) " Warren Rogers Collection ". I'd love clarification. Terrible how the mind shuts down, in so short a time, at this age!

Finally; Just so there's no misreading of my intentions here? I don't want a cent for this plate. I'd be delighted to send it, post paid, through Paul, or who ever. I'm just trying to do this in my old mates memory.

Thanks.
