Engraver 's Presentation Added Info by Dready

I posted my presentation about Engraver Charles Schlecht on Sunday but this information just arrived last night and I knew I had to share it.

I received this from a person whose Great-Grandfather was also an engraver.(maybe my next presentation lol).

I was totally amazed when this showed up in an email. It was sent to my contact by the Great-Grand daughter of Charles.

Here is a little of that email :

"Here is a photo of Charles. His great grand daughter sent it to me. Her grandfather was the youngest of several brothers. She said his brothers got all the engravings when their father (Charles) died. She only has one drawing that her Great grandfather did. I also believe Charles did free lance work as an independent engraver after quitting his job."

How cool is that ? Since more info is available, I'll post it as it comes in...........................................John ( still amazed )

John, That is very interesting! This is one reason why I not only collect the notes but turned to learning about the people behind them. Makes it all the more human!

Excellent stuff..there friend.
