834.0. "Canadian China Matching Services?" by CUPMK::BONDE () Thu Jun 02 1994 17:51

    I've recently acquired a set of Limoges china, and I'm trying to extend
    the service.  I've found only a couple of pieces through American china
    matching companies; however, I'm told I might have better luck finding
    pieces by this manufacturer (Charles Ahrenfeldt, pattern "Strasbourg")
    in Canada.
    
    Can anyone give me the names/addresses/phone numbers of Canadian china
    matching services that specialize in selling discontinued china?  
    
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide,

    By the way, in the U.S., china matching services often advertise in in
    the backs of "home and garden beautification" (for lack of a better
    phrase) magazines, as well as bridal magazines.  It's very likely that
    Canadian-published periodicals of these sorts also carry these ads--can
    any subscribers please skim through them and let me know?
    
    Thanks -- Sue

      The vast majority of the magazines you mention are the same 
    	U.S. ones as you've probably seen, but there are a few Canadian
      types that I could check next time I'm at the library.

    RE: .2
    
    Thanks for the information!  I called the places you listed.  Old China
    Patterns and Echo did not carry my pattern, but provided
    pointers to other services I can contact.  Aurora wasn't reachable.

    I would appreciate it very much if you would do so.  
    
    Thanks again -- Sue
