What's New at Egg-Coddlers.COM?
We have been getting many inquiries about whether this site is
still actively maintained. Fear Not! Bruce and Rob are still
working to keep things moving.
We continue to count on collectors to inform us when you
find something new or information that augments (or even
contradicts) what we have already posted on the web site. We
still have an immense backlog of material to enter, so please be
patient if you have sent data to us and it is not here yet.

- I don't think it is necessary to mention that this "What's
New?" page is not updated as often as the web site content. The
web site has been moved to a bigger and faster web server. Data
updates are being created and merged to the new site.
- The "Bulletin Boards" have been disabled. This will be a
temporary change, hopefully. The free version of
Ultimate Bulletin Board
no longer will serve our needs, and I don't like to run an ancient
piece of freeware. We will be looking for a replacement at some
date in the future.
- New patterns added in:
Adams.

- At long last, there is a section for
Roy Kirkham
egg coddlers.

- Brought the site up on a new instance of
Apache.
This fixed a few things which were broken on the old
site (searches, the bulletin board, all cgi-bin scripts ...
little things like that). If you are an avid follower
of this log, you'll see that I've had very few cycles
to dedicate to the web site recently. I have a plethora
of images and data to load up, hopefully in the next few
weekends.

- We learned that the name of the pattern we had labelled
RW-UNK40 is
Valentine
- Added and updated images and names from a
Coalport
brochure.
- Added missing images for several of the newer
Royal Worcester patterns.
- Added several interesting examples of other
Royal Worcester patterns.
- Added a Severn pattern.
- We learned that the patterns we had labelled
RW-UNK12, RW-UNK20, and
RW-UNK47 are all variants of a pattern
that Royal Worcester called
Louise.
(We are calling it
(Old) Louise
on the site to differentiate it from a pattern which
succeeded it, also named
Louise).

Yeah, yeah, yeah .... I've been remiss in updating this section.
Of course, I don't know if anyone has even looked at this page yet.
With the exception of
Syracuse,
which is still in need of a lot of TLC, I believe that we have put
in all the primary data from the known manufacturers. We are
still one month behind on processing all the new data, and many
images are still locked up in Cold Storage awaiting addition to
the site.
Probably the greatest accomplishment of the past few months has
been the updating of the
Wade section,
and the
UM01 (all-pottery coddler) section.

A significant addition to the bottom of most pages on the web site
is a search engine. You can now search the text of this web site
for items of interest. The default search is a Boolean "OR" of
all the words you provide in the search field.
Sections that were updated/augmented include:
Sigma (Taste Setters),
CPIAG,
and
Royal Worcester.
Also, several unknown manufacturer sections were added.
Notes
1
- The concept of 'completion' of a comprehensive catalog of egg
coddlers is not really definable. There will always be new finds
and discoveries in new collections. Certainly, even if we manage
to discover every coddler ever made in the past,
Royal Worcester
and other manufacturers are sure to continue to produce new patterns.
However, from the perspective of the site editors, the goal that
we are aiming for is "Complete with everything we've learned to
date."
