2 auctions that may be of some interest.

Hello,
A friend droped a catalog including estate actions off on my desk because he noticed the word armor. Normally I wouldn't post this as there are probably few of us near or who can easily reach Franklin Ohio and Mountain City Georga but it might be of SOME interest so...

Franklin, Ohio: 4 suits of armor, helmets, crossbows, halbers and assorted other historical "stuff". The maile is admitedly from a movie set and there is a lot of other movie memorabilia but at least one of the books listed is dated to the 1700's (probably 1799) so there might be some interesting stuff... especially if you like old movie armor. I've spotted at least 3 semi-period helms in the photos that I think I can connect to Museaum Replicas or Indian Importers.

But the one that caught my eye...
Mountain City, Georgia: Entire cointents of Working Blacksmith Shop; Blacksmith shop in Tiger, Georgia; Anvils, Vices, Cutters and much more...

The pictures show a nice lot of "stuff" including 2 milk-crates of hammers, leg vice, decent looking anvil, crank blower, swedge blocks, lots of tongs and some home made tools.

I thought SOMEONE here might be interested and close enough to benefit from this.

happy hammering,
Sean
