LOCHGELLY TAWSE bought and sold by CHURCH ANTIQUESEmail - Telephone - 07950 923 814 As our customers will be aware we are listing the most recent acquisitions first as we can confirm the history and provenance. We still have a good stock of genuine school straps without history from our Crieff days including some serious 1950‘s examples and some unusual items collected recently. Please note that our ebay and private sales of Lochgelly belts are suspended and we shall now be able to resume sales of these items in June 2012 for the rest of the year. Loraine and the rest of our staff are still available to make purchases. Church Antiques in Crieff bought up many thousands of teachers belts after Corporal Punishment was abolished. Now semi-retired we still trade with selected clients by mail order and through the internet. Please do not send any of the modern copies or Margaret Dick replicas to us. We will charge £10 p&p to return these by Special Delivery. We will not accept bids from customers who have Zero feedback unless you contact us by email or telephone before placing your bid to verify your identity. We also only accept bids from clients who hold a Paypal account. If you do not hold a Paypal account please contact us before placing your bid so that we can lift the embargo on your username. We know this is inconveniencing new buyers but please look at the attempted negative feedback left for us by “a bidder - competitor” who had no intention to pay. We have therefore blocked bidders who have not registered a payment card and thus forced the identities out and reported them to eBay while blocking that identity from further disrupting our genuine clients. The Collector's Guide to the School Strap - Second Edition We have a limited stock of the second and final edition of “The Collector’s Guide to the School Strap” by Harold A. Hoff. Although a departure from our core business of buying and selling genuine school straps on eBay, we are convinced that both new and serious collectors will find this well researched guide to school belts a compelling addition. Church Antiques has assisted Harold with photos, history and supplied many of the items featured and in agreement with the author we have kept the price of this final edition as low as possible. This updated reference is a specific resource illustrating genuine punishment straps formerly used in school settings. The countries covered include Scotland, England, Ireland, Canada, Australia and others. Over 115 authentic examples are featured through 400 colour illustrations. The emphasis is on auction prices realised, dealer estimates, specifications, maker history, regulatory background and former practices employed. While mainly geared to collectors; this guide can be of broader interest to historians and readers with a general interest in the genre of corporal punishment and educational history.
