We get letters.
We get lots of letters.

Over the years since Kramer's Best has been available to our customers we have received letters,  post cards, thank you cards, notes written on orders, phone calls, and in more recent years many e-mails.

It always pleases us when our customers take time to pass on their thanks and words of praise.  It reinforces our belief that there are people out there who do appreciate our efforts to produce really effective and worthwhile products.

We have reproduced many of those messages here for you to read.  Redundant information such as "Dear Mr. Kramer", specific information about the order, etc., have not been included.  Also we have honored privacy and not included names or other identifying information of the correspondent, nor have we included names of competitor products.  All for obvious reasons. 

We do have the originals of all of these and more, and would be glad to furnish them for viewing at our location by appointment.

We hope these are helpful to you.

…Your Antique Improver is the best product we have used in three decades of caring for our Nineteenth Century and Early Twentieth Century furniture. Its restorative quality is amazing. It is more than you claim for it!… W.A.N. 7/25/94

…I purchased an 8-oz. sample of your Antique Improver at the Cleveland Woodworkers Show. Have tried it on a 100-year-old 60-inch oak rolltop desk and had terrific results. It's the best natural way to repair antiques I've seen. So send me 1 gallon ASAP! Enclosed is my check… J.C.R. 11/16/89

…Your Antique Improver works great. I would appreciate your promptness in getting my order out. My oak floors are waiting to be finished… J.C. 10/31/89

…Enclosed please find my business card. We have spoken with you on several occasions at the Governor's Building and once in Weston. Finally we have plunged and opened our own collective and have great hopes for success. As it has been my experience that your product worked for me when others failed, I would like to offer it to my customers... C.M.

…Yesterday, after our telephone conversation, Bob and I were in the garage working on some projects, when neighbors of ours dropped over, Rich having been so impressed with some project which Bob had used the Improver on, that he brought his wife over to see it. Bob mentioned to them that he had used the Improver on the car, which is painted red and that it had completely removed the oxidation. With the neighbors watching, Bob tried the Improver on the chrome and, of course, it worked like a charm. Presto! Another convert. You know, it is really fun to play with this stuff. We got a box of driftwood down from the attic last night (now I know what I was saving it for) and started the process on it. We also have an appointment this evening with a doctor friend of ours who is a woodworker, woodcarver and wood collector. I know he'll go crazy – we're taking cases and gallons with us…B.&M.H. 5/15/88

…A couple months ago you were part of the wood show at the Myriad in Oklahoma City and 1 met you there. I purchased a couple bottles of your Antique Improver and have been very happy with it. It did all to my old dining room set you claimed. I am grateful for it and the info you gave me to repair and reglue my wife's old beautiful cherry dining table and 8 chairs. As you suggested I used hide glue and your Improver. It all looks wonderful!…R.F. 5/6

…Since I talked with you, I have decided to order two cases of your Antique Improver, so have enclosed a check…I still say it's the best thing ever for restoring new color to the old hardwood floors, and we are gradually getting others to see the picture, too. Now, just don't stop producing….R.&M.R. 5/31/90

…I just want to thank you for caring enough to make such excellent products at such reasonable prices. I first saw your products at a woodworking show in Washington, D.C. I have since used your Antique Improver on dressers, end tables, and even on the wood on the dash of my car. This stuff really is amazing! Your Blemish Clarifier has saved more than one piece of my furniture from the evils of stripping. It has removed: paint, nail polish, watermarks (8-year-old watermarks), and even cigarette burns. I hope that you continue to manufacture your products as they will certainly play an important role in my restoration efforts…D.LaF 3/17/1990

…Your excellent polish was here when I returned from Texas. Today the teakwood table is already improved. It will get another coat in the next two days. My grandson who attends Sam Houston State U. told me about seeing a demonstration. He has a Wood Work Class…My table has had 22 years hard wear, and you might like to consider me as giving a testimonial…T.G.S. 4/3/89

…Please rush order. We saw you at Bartle Hall. We used the oil on our burned kitchen cabinets – it worked wonders – now we have to put it on the rest of the cabinets, etc… M.M.

…I bought a bottle of your Antique Improver in Columbus, Ohio, last January. My wife and I are refinishing an old table and we just recently got to the applying new finish stage. We selected this project to use your Antique Improver on. It's excellent, but I ran out. Please send me a current price list including availability of larger containers… B.G. 7/20/89

…I purchased your product Antique Improver at the Chicago Antique Show on Aug. 19. On Aug. 22 I applied it to my beautiful mahogany finish piano to try to remove multiple cat paw print stains – 48 hours later same stains are 98% removed! I expect that a few more applications will result in 100% removal of a stain(s) I have "fought" for 5+ years. Thanks so much for a very effective product; it not only removes the stains but certainly has enhanced the beauty of the original finish. I certainly am glad that I stopped at your booth and purchased your product…. J.B. 8/23/89

…I talked with you at the Woodworking Show in Winston Salem and purchased several of your products. I brought them home and immediately started to reclaim a drum table that had been heavily damaged with water and no telling what else. I have already used 6 oz. Of Antique Improver and three oz. of Blemish Clarifier and finally am about to get the top into shape. I tried to get your phone number to consult with you, but found it unlisted. I will certainly be out of materials before you can get this order to me. Maybe I'm using too much…Enjoyed your lecture at the show…C.G., M.D. 10/9/89

…I met you at the last Antique Show at the Merchandise Mart. At that time I told you about an old set of bedroom furniture which belong to my husband's mother (probably 50 years old purchased from…). The finish was terribly checkered. You suggested I use the Blemish Clarifier. I have tried it and it is more than a miracle!! However the small 8-oz. Bottle will probaly do one side of the footboard. I will need much more. Do you think 1 gallon would do it?… J.McG. 4/4

…Just tried the Antique Improver last week end (bought it last month at the Wash.DC Show) on a couple of old chairs – I'm very impressed…C.J. 3/19/89

…I purchased a qt. of your Antique Improver at the January Equipment show, being a new woodworker, and a sucker for a good sales pitch. I have been using it on little knick knacs I have been making for my wife and grandchildren. All new wood oak, mahogany, and African vermillian to name a few. I don't like to paint and cover the natural beauty, so I use your magic formula and burn any detailing I need. As a novice I am SUPER impressed with the beauty of my finished piece due to your magic. In reality I have no doubts similar products are available. They will no doubt present themselves in such a manner as to seduce me into trying them, but as with other times in a mans life, THE FIRST TIME will always be remembered with a special feeling of awe. Any tips you would care to share on the use of your magic elixir with this virginal woodworker will be greatly appreciated. Grandmaw always said "a fool and his money are soon parted", so now for the purpose of this letter. Please fill the enclosed order… R.C.H 2/14/90

…I have seen your product at Columbus, O. wood working show and Toledo, O. show. Being I am a collector of antique tools I tried it on old wood levels & planes. It works great.

Please send me 2 more bottles… R.H. 6/20/89

…It was a pleasure meeting you at the Norfolk Show. We really enjoyed your seminar. We're re lly impressed with your products. The oak floor is going in & we've decided to use your oil finish. You mentioned the amount of coverage per gallon, however, there isn't a price listed on your brochure for that amount. Please contact us and furnish any information that you feel may help us in finishing our floors and also, the most cost effective way to purchase a large quantity of all… P.M. 3/28/89

I've been using your Kramer's Antique Improver since seeing you at a wood working show in Norfolk, Va. At the time I bought three bottles and it does go a long way. I am most impressed with this product as it is the best thing I have ever used on wood. Now my three grown girls have discovered from my supply what it does for their wood so my supply is very low. I need a price list… B.J.S. 6/4/90

…hope you remember me. I had forgotten my Antique Improver at Red Lodge. I finally received it last week through Jeff. After working with it I found out that this stuff is really good.

I use the Kramer's Antique Improver a lot and I have let my friends and neighbors use it and we all love it. In fact I need to order several bottles for me and my friends. I have been refinishing furniture for myself, family and friends the last few years. There have been several instances where people have asked me to refinish a piece of furniture and I know right away that the piece doesn't really need refinishing, it just needs your Antique Improver. Everyone is really amazed and happy with how well it works. I would appreciate it if you would send…M.M.R.

…In the fall of 1989 I bought an 8-oz. Bottle of your Antique Improver at a woodworking show in Harrisburg, PA. I can't tell you how impressed I've been.

Because it works so well and I haven't found anything to compare, I am enclosing a check for more…J.S.McG.

…My wife and I had the opportunity this summer to pull our trailer around the United States on an extended vacation. While traveling through Lawrence, Kansas we stopped by a church fund raiser. It was there that we became aware of your Museum Quality Kramer's Antique Improver. My wife was so impressed that we purchased two bottles. Now that we are back home and have the opportunity to actually use your product in our home we are more than impressed. We are sold on it. We now have a problem. We do not know that it is available in our area and nothing else will do. Would you please let us know… R.M. 11/1/91

…I'm sure you've heard these words before—Thanks! On Oct. 13^th one of your demonstrators was at our Crippled Children's Antique Show here in … I bought a bottle of your "Kramer's Best Antique Improver". I read all the material first. And when I came across the statement that I could try rubbing alcohol first to see if that ugly brown "wrinkled" finish would come off I did so. And Praise The Lord—it did. We live in a very old house, for 22 years. Our hardwood woodwork looked awful. But I couldn't bring myself to undertake the job of stripping it. So it has just stayed and looked ugly. So I bought several pints of alcohol, plenty of rags and went to work. After a few days I put your Kramer's (Miracle Worker) on, and lo and behold I have what looks like new woodwork and oh so beautiful! Thank you and God Bless you. It also took care of an ugly white stain on a very old end table where my husband spilled coffee… A.&J.S. 11/22/94

…What a wonderful product! I love your Antique Improver! I bought the 8 oz. Bottle in Davenport, Iowa at an Antique Show.

I bought a small bottle from you at the shopping center in Ashville last July…I have used it on many of my very old pieces and love it. I demonstrated it to my Mother on some of her very fine pieces and she was impressed with the way it brought out the tone of the wood and left no sticky residue. I gave her the remains of the bottle I bought from you and now I need some more. I just wanted to add this note to let you know how much I have enjoyed your wonderful product and am thankful that I decided to try it. When you send my order, please send along another order blank and brochure that I can share with my friends… H.A.R. 12/31/92

…I bought a bottle of Kramer's Best Antique Improver a couple of months after opening an antique shop. I was stripping and refinishing some items & thought your product sounded too good to be true. Well it's absolutely what you claimed. I did an English cabinet with it—no stain—just Kramers on bare wood & it looks beautiful. Now I would like to know if we could carry it in our shop.

…I had to send you a copy of a letter I wrote and tell you about my experience with your Kramer's Best Antique Improver. As the letter states, 6 mos. Ago my 7 yr. old daughter sprayed Lysol on the mahogony wood panels in one of our bathrooms. The home is 13 years old, we just bought it a year ago. I tried for quite a while to find a solution that would not require refinishing, and did not want to try anything abrasive. That's when I remembered the bottle of your stuff that the previous owner…had left for me, saying I'd need it. Since it was the first time I'd used it, I only tested it on a small spot, putting it on pretty wet and gently rubbing. As you can guess, it WORKED!! To this day the spots are still gone. Mr. Kramer, I have since used your Improver on a lot of things, most recently a wooden bread box I bought at a yard sale that looked pretty weathered. The results were pretty dramatic. Anyway, I hope other people who have problems can get the word on your product…[letter to Al Carrell: "Super Handyman" columnist included]…D.M. 10/8/96

…I would be interested in getting this product to retail in our Antique Store. I absolutely love the Antique Improver especially on metal items…E.

…Thank you for making three great products. It is good to talk to a craftsman who cares about the product he puts out. It is also nice to call with a question and not have to play with phone recording & press different numbers just to get to talk to a live person. I wish you success in your endeavors, present and future….G.Q.A, 12/7/96

…This is a great product…I am in the military and move every 3 years. I do antiques on my off time and always looking for good buys and product to keep my antiques looking their best, and by far yours is the best…R.J.L. 11/21/96

…I used it on old English dining room chairs a man had stripped for me because they were so dark. I used the Ant. Imp. on the cleaned wood and was thrilled at the warm color that appeared as well as the grain of the quarter-sawn wood. I want to do the dining table, sideboard, and 3 more chairs next so please send the enclosed order. The 3 8-oz. Bottles are for my 3 daughter-in-laws for Christmas. I know they will love it, too.

You saved me the cost of having it refinished…K.G. 8/24/97

…This past year, I started using your Kramer's Antique Improver on furniture that I was restoring or refinishing. Initially, I was somewhat skeptical, but the more I used your product, I continued to gain more confidence in a guaranteed result. Regardless of the condition of wood I was applying it to, it would as though through magic, transform the most ordinary of wood into a work of art. When I now purchase a piece of furniture, I wonder what is hidden below the finish and can only imagine what affect Kramer'' will have on it. Aside from letting you know how much I'm sold on your product, I'd like to inquire about the possibility of becoming a representative or dealer for your product in Arizona. I would also like some more information on the Blemish Clarifier. If this product works half as well as the Antique Improver, I'll be sold on it! Thanks… S.J.K 12/29/95

…I had the opportunity to see your "Antique Improver" in action at Wiley Ranch where I was painting a mural. Please send me information on how I may purchase some of this. The results from your product are incredible… J.P. 1/6/95

…We continue to use your wonderful product on our wood furniture. There is nothing on the market half as good, especially for our mid-Victorian to 1920s pieces. We have used more than a gallon so far. I told my mother, who has a booth in the downtown Antique Mall in St. Joseph, & who has been collecting old furniture since 1928, about your Antique Improver. She tried it, & she is as enthusiastic about it as my wife & I are. My mother says that Antique Improver is by far the best product she has ever used. I wish that I live long enough to maintain half the furniture that she has!… W.H.W. 12/17/94

…Concerning Kramer's Best Antique Improver. It is the best. It is Great. Oh I have so many people impressed with the ease and results of the product. I am almost out and have others very interested in purchasing to try for themselves in their own home. I need an order form or list of sizes and prices… S.L.K. 4/20/95

…My husband and I were recently in Iowa and saw your product. He was so impressed he purchased several bottles. We have since tried it on some of our antique furniture. It is amazing. What a difference it made. It made believers out of us. When we were in Iowa we were approached about possibly selling Antique Improver in Colorado. Once we tried your product, I decided to try and sell it. Since I am an antique dealer with spaces in several antique malls, I thought it might be an easy way to start. Therefore, you will find enclosed… D.R.1/9/95

Brings out the beauty of every line and grain in the wood. I am pleased! Enclosed is my S.A.S.E…. G.B.

…My wife and I acquired your Antique Improver when we were on vacation in Branson, Mo. We love the product! We have a lot of antiques. The problem is we lost the original booklet and we can't reorder the product. I realized the address was on the bottle we have, so… S.J.P 11/30/94

…I would like to order another quart of your Kramer's Best. It was recommended to me by an acquaintance at an antique tool auction. I have found it to be one of the best cleaning agents around. Many of my tools cleaned up much better than hoped for. They have taken on the deep luster desired often lacking in older tools when stripped with other cleaners. Keep up the good work…. B.F. 9/21/95

…Just a note of "praise." I obtained this product (Kramer's) at a Ky. Flea Market. I'm very impressed. I have 4 hardrock maple kitchen chairs 40 yrs. old that have been in the family from the date of purchase. A family of 4, grandchildren (11) and now a family of 5. I was amongst all of the above. They are good sturdy chairs but were in need of help—I used 0000 fine steel wool and your product and within 3 hours these chairs are beautiful. In the midst of doing one of the chairs my sister-in-law called and I sold her on it so I'll be sending a reorder soon. I'm sure it's a great product and sells itself. I have many family & friends sure to be interested.S.K. 2/10/95

…Sometime ago we bought some of your Antique Improver. We used it to restore a buggy and it worked so great we would like to order more. My order form is several years old so would you send me a present order form. We purchased an 8-oz. Bottle before but want a lot larger size this time. We were able to save the original sides of a very old buggy because of your product. We are getting into this restoration work more now and plan on opening a shop for outside work soon… S.VS. 11/20/95

…While visiting my sister I was given a small jar of your "Kramer's Best Antique Improver" and having just made a move of 1000 miles found damage to my Grandfather wall clock which I treasure very much. I used your product and find it very much improved the finish as well as my sewing machine cabinet. I would be very interested in purchasing a bottle to have on hand… D.P.H. 3/16/95

…We have used your product on a number of wood items that we have restored. We currently purchase from Pam... We would like to start "giving" an 8-oz. Bottle of Antique Improver with the furniture that people purchase. This allows them to "maintain" the piece of furniture. We really do not intend to be in the business of selling your product, but have it available to maintain the work we have done. Can we purchase direct from you on a wholesale basis the 8 oz. Bottles?… S.W. 11/27/94

…Thank you for your time and attention. I received two of your brochures, copies that is, from my wife's cousin…I used approximately 4 to 5 oz. Of your Antique Improver on a 5 piece solid walnut bedroom set. It did a beautiful job. I am interested in your other products on a wholesale basis so that it is more cost/profit feasible. I clean many homes for customers who would appreciate their woods being properly treated… C.N. 4/23/90

…My father has used "Kramer Antique Improver" many times on many things. He loved it!!! He got it at a wood show a while ago. Well, I was down in our basement, his workshop. I was looking for some nails and a hammer, when the bottle was on his workbench, and I hit it by accident off the table. The bottle smashed on the floor. The liquid was all over the floor. When I told him, he was very sad, that he didn't have any more. So I had this great idea, that I would write to you and ask for a price list, for the "Kramers Antique Improver" so if it wasn't too expensive, I could get it for a surprise gift for Father's Day. So could you please send me… E.A.Brockman 6/13/90

…I missed your presence at the Syracuse Woodworkers Show. The main reason I go is to hear your talk. Please send me three of your catalogues. Two are for friends. My primary interest at this time is your wood finishing materials. I make quality turkey calls. The box portion is made of either walnut or cherry. From a discussion with your friend at the show who sells the special vises, your finishing materials should be very good and should make sanding between coats unnecessary, along with other advantages and would make a quality finish… L.H.W. 11/25/91

…Please send me your brochure for your product Kramer's Antique Improver. I have heard how well it works on wood furniture and would like to know how I might be able to get a bottle… R.E.B. 3/27/95

…I'm not normally so enthusiastic, but I love the Improver & the Oyl. I've used the Improver on my Willet cherry furniture, my antique walnut armoir, hardwood floors, exterior of the fridge & wall oven, kitchen cabinets, etc. (However it does take my nail polish off!) My violin is next! And sooo easy to use—much more so than…which I've used for years. I took a complimentary bottle to the desk at the mall next day as is suggested… C.S.

I'm now enamored of your product & got from Al several bottles that I gave as Xmas presents, which were gratefully received! Thank you so much for your wonderful bottles—my antiques thank you too… A.S. 9/25/00

…I have used this product over the years on our antique walnut and oak furniture. The results have always exceeded my expectations!! We recently had a new patio installed. This brought the condition of the baked enamel surface of our Pella sliding glass door to my attention. The door is approximately fifteen years old. I had done nothing to protect the metal surface over the years and, needless to say, it had become rather dingy. I contacted the Pella people and was told to use 409 to clean the surface and then apply Turtle Wax. I tried this and the condition of the surface showed no improvement. Out of desperation I decided to try your Antique Improver on the door. The results were amazing. I used two applications, which amounted to rubbing the solution on, letting it set for a few minutes and then wiping it off with a clean soft cloth. After finishing this project my wife's comment was "It looks like new". I also used your product on our front door, which is made by Larson and has the same baked enamel finish. The result was even better than the Pella door, as the Larson door is approximately six years newer and in better condition. I just wanted to let you know how effective your product was in resolving our problem… R.W.H. 6/13/00

…I called you a month ago looking for oil for our kitchen table which we refinished. We found the Antique Improver and it did a marvelous job! It looks even better than the original finish. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your instruction book. It gives so much helpful information. You did a great job…M.T. 3/22/00

…Received my order today as per your prediction. Congratulations on a great product and also for being smart enough to package it for the mail in such a great way. Looking forward to doing business with you in the future…D.H. 1/19/00

…Besides enjoying our phone call back in March, I located, purchased and have begun using your "Antique Improver' on all my powderhorn butts…the results have my clients RAVING! I am so impressed with what it does to freshly stained wood I cannot even begin to tell you. Now I have a project on my hands I do not know how to handle. My daughter bought an old house. It has SOLID BIRCH cabinets in the kitchen. They were last varnished in 1951 and look terrible. I steel wooled off one of the drawer faces to get the scale off and rubbed a DAB of the Improver into the grain. She is now going ballistic over the GRAIN that has jumped out… M.T.

…I love your Antique Improver. I have used it on furniture I was sure had no hope but to be totally stripped and refinished and was pleased to see it work miracles. I recently acquired a 130 year old pump organ that had been sadly neglected and used on it all of what I had left of the Antique Improver. It is amazing how wonderfully it restored the wood to a beautiful finish. As I said I used the last of what I had and need to get more… B.N. 6/18/99

…My neighbor lady and I have both used it and we like it and each want to buy more… M.L.W. 3/25/99

(excerpt from an e-mail forwarded to us by a customer)…I initially clean my dirty woodies with Simple Green, wiping off quickly. When completely dry, I apply Kramer's Best Antique Improver. It's a non-petroleum propriety blend which works great. Just wipe it on liberally, let it sit for about a minute and then wipe off the residual. It also works great on putting the luster back on japanning. Unfortunately, it is not sold in stores so I finally just became a dealer to ensure I had a steady supply around. I probably go through a bottle a month… J.S. 7/13/00

…About 6-8 years ago, I bought some Kramer's Antique Improver at a woodworking show. I used the product to clean and "feed" the original oak woodwork in my 1883 home. Worked great. Now I'm out… A.L. 10/10/00

(excerpt from a web forum forwarded to us by a customer)…I bought a bottle because I had a couple of pieces of antique furniture that had some damage to the finish that I thought it would help to correct. Lo and behold, it did better than I ever expected, and I decided to give it a try on something that needed more help…I'm sold on the stuff…My stock had some dings and scratches in it from prolonged dragging through thick southern forests. Not bad, but I knew where they were, so I decided to sand the finish enough to smooth them out. All I really did was to take some 120 grit and sand lightly to remove the old sealer and the scratches, then with 240 grit to get a real nice and slick finish. I don't guess I spent an hour total time sanding and smoothing…I didn't even put any stain or anything on the stock. I just went over it several times with the Kramer's. He recommends letting the finish cure for 24 hours before applying another coat, and I followed his instructions. If you can hold sandpaper and read, you can reproduce the finish I got…I don't have any connection with Kramer's other than as a satisfied customer. Your mileage may vary, but I'm happy with my experience with the stuff… C. 1/4/00

…We love this product! If you ever need an endorsement, let me know. We've never used anything else since we found Kramer's… S. & J. H. 10/05/00

…Love that stuff! Zowie I should be a distributor. Know tons of people & I'm an antique junker. You are having too much fun… K. 11/2/00

…My new-best-friend-Kramer: Now that you can restore furniture you need to invent something to restore us old ladies. If you can do for me what you can do for my coffee table, you'll be everybody's best friend… L. DV. 12/10/02
