John Rohner Hammer collection auction

John's estate is auctioning off the hammer collection. I am sure everyone will enjoy seeing the pictures supplied.

I plan to be there and hope to be the high bidder . Hopefully Roger Bleile and Paul Hamler will be accompanying me so it will be fun and edifying trip.

I plan to publish a book showcasing each of these as well create a website that will give intimate 360 degree views to fully appreciate the complexity that many of these have.

If you have the financial resources to help me keep these available for study and viewing in the engraving community please contact me . They don't need to stuck in a vault somewhere

Scott, by no means do I have the hefty financial resources to make a dent in what they may end up going for but am more than willing to throw a 100$ in the pot to help the cause. hopefully you can achieve this noble endeavor of keeping them accessible for study.

Wellllllll
Lots of emotions I've been through in the last dozen hours.

i didn't get them. Don't know who did. There were two phone bidders against me and they went on after I had reached my quit number. That I exceeded by 5000 dollars even. That even surprised me I did it and thought I had it then , they we're starting to call it.
Anyway those of you that contributed, Thank you. I will be returning your money on Monday when I get back. Paul Hamler and I are on the way home now. We spent the night in Mount Vernon, Illinois. I spent a lot of last night awake thinking I could have sold this or that and raised more money. I don't know.
I don't know
I don't know
Hopefully whoever got them will be appreciative and we will see them again.
