Aid to wrench collectors at Mercer Museum in September
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:47:22 AM »
The Mercer Museum has asked me to give a seminar on wrench collecting from the standpoints of continuous innovation from the pre-industrial period forward to the first quarter of the 20th century.  I will also cover methods of sourcing collectible wrenches from this period, as well as provide hands-on exposure to historical wrenches. The seminar is scheduled for September 13th. 7 - 9 p.m. at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA

If it is taped or recorded, it would be fantastic to hear it!

Yes, I thought the same thing but did not want to ask if that were a possability. I do wish that I knew of such seminars closer to me.

I would LOVE to see this!!!

Any chance you would video it, and upload it to YouTube?

There are tens of thousands of people, just like me, who could benefit tremendously from a video like this, and would surely draw new interest and collectors.
