'Techny Spider' (Reckamp-Klehm, 1987)
I am not a Reckamp expert by a long shot - only grew that one. But, I know I have heard discussion that the modern glitter gold edges can be traced back to his lines, as do teeth. They may go back to other lines as well.
Looks like Jamie's first intro was in 2000. In 2001 he intro'd a toothy one out of Startle.
'Startle' (Belden, 1988)
I remember when Startle came out. Benz was using it hot and heavy and Shirley Farmer was SO EXCITED when John gave her some pollen, and later a piece of the flower. Since Jamie and John were friends that is probably why Jamie became familiar with Startle early on.
Here is a blog post on Reckamp on the blog Lyle linked for you.

and another blog post about Reckamp's Techny Peach Lace winning an HM in 2000 - the photo shows teeth. So it won an HM the year of Jamie's first intro.... so that proves your neighbor wrong.

Crown of Creation (Rice-J., 1998) --- also was registered before Jamie registered anything. Let me see if I can find the close up of it's teeth...
I found one, but it is not one of my best shots. My photos are a mess - my old mac died and my photos are all on an external drive - thank goodness I had all my files backed up, but I never had them organized well. Before I copy everything to the new computer, I am determined to organize, name, and TAG my photos!
