Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Thanks for that Sweetie.
Erwin Springbrunm, one of the celebrity Goldsmiths and a brilliant pair of hands, God rest him.
A lot of German tradesmen made their way to Ireland after the war, I worked for one in the early sixties, an Eddie Phister, another great goldsmith who unfortunately died young in 1970 from a massive heart attack, his young wife kept the business going until she retired around 1995, a wonderful lady to work for who also knew how to drink a pint or two with the shop hands.

I love working on the Celtic stuff myself, makes me feel relaxed and at home.
