Sutlers- Cheers & Jeers Recent experience: Tart, Button Barron, Townsends.

Cheers go out to these sutlers / vendors:

• Tart: Fabric
  • ordered 8/22, shipped 8/23, received 8/28
• The Button Baron: Buttons (reason for ordering), canteen stopper, shirting fabric, and Harper's Weekly Reprint
  • ordered 8/22, shipped 8/23, received 8/25
• Townsends: 19th century eyeglasses frame
  • ordered 8/25, shipped 8/25, received 8/28

For a hobby that the norm is waiting, it is refreshing that some vendors fill and ship orders quickly for in stock items. All three sellers also answered my emailed questions quickly and completely.

I can certainly second Tart and Button Barron, always had good service from them in the past. Thanks for the report on Townsend, I wasn't familiar with them before your search for glasses, good to know.
