Hi. I'm Dave Pierce author of "The Platts Cutlers in Andover" and "The Forgotten Cutleries of Eldred" for KnifeWorld. Been doing research on the Platts family cutlers,Clay Cutlery and A.J. Jordan Cutlery for about 20 years now. Unfortunately I've gotten away from it of late. I grew up and lived in Alfred,NY(just a few miles from Andover) until 18 years ago. I now reside in Ohio where I'm the Security Professional at a liberal arts college.
Congratulations on a terrific website. Whoever put this together did a fantastic job! Congratulations also to Dave Anthony on his much anticipated book.
