While we are on the subject of recasting, how about when Don Curry purchased the Butts/Barris Black Beauty molds from Bob Butts. Once Don got the molds everything went south. Don refused to pay for the molds or even ship them back. Don decided just to keep them for himself without paying for them. Bob contacted Don and asked for the money or the molds back, Don refused. Bob Butts had no other choice but to take the matter to court. The case went before the court in Cal. and Don lost big time the court deemed that the Black Beauty molds were the sole property of Mr. Butts, Don was ordered to return the molds back to Mr. Butts.

In the mean time Bob J. purchased the molds from Mr. Butts and paid cash up front. Bob sent a trucking firm to pick up the molds from Don Curry's residence, they found that the molds were wrapped in tape only. The trucking firm contacted Bob and told him that if they were to ship the molds in this condition that they would surly be damaged in shipment. Bob paid the extra charge to have the molds properly containerized.

Not before returning the molds Don Curry pulled a splash mold from the Black Beauty Kit for himself. Don has since then sold several kits to board members and Paul Shear.

Bob J. clearly owns all the rights to those molds and we would like them back!
