rrcollectibles1877 A shorthistory. At 11 years old, in the summer of 1960, I had 8 differentpart time jobs. Mostly relating to newspapers. Some yard maintenance and some babysitting. Atfirst, I walked my routes in a small, at the time, in the outer edges or LAcounty. Eventually I was able to purchase a new Western Flyer bicycle fo...rmWestern Auto on the payment plan with my mother cosigning. It was $5.00 a monthfor 10 months. I loved the bike. At 16 years old I left home and worked full time in a metalfabrication department for a company that made patio furniture. I was thesecond fastest production operator on the brake and punch out presses in theplant. The Forman was the fastest. Also crushed 4 digits on my hands. At 19 years old I was a Sargent in charge of an AirborneInfantry Squad which had a M-60 machine gun crew. I was sent to the Republic ofViet Nam. Was wounded in the end of 67. When I came home I couldn't find acomfortable place to work so started my own business. In the late 60s and early70s I made leather products, sold to a few stores and on the streets of SanFrancisco to the tourists. One of the first shops I sold to, when they had onlytwo stores, was the Gap.
After about 10, 000 belts and a good number of bags, satchels and key fobs Imoved on to Jewelry. I started selling my silver as a San Francisco StreetArtist (San Francisco Street Artist License No 28)
As I got into gold and precious gems I moved on to art shows first in Floridathen eventually up the entire east coast along with the mid-west. Atlanta, Virginia Beach, New York City, all the big towns in Ohio, then on to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and many cities in between then back down south. Whiledoing the touring I received over 70 awards for design and craftsmanship. Bythe time I was 40 I had my own jewelry store and became a Graduate Gemologist(GIA) in Delray Beach Florida. I designed, manufacturing, sold and appraisingjewelry for 1100 families. During that time, I designed, developed, and taughtthe jewelry program for the Boca Raton Museum. I retired from the store (soldout at 50) and only took on custom work or one-of-a-kind pieces for specialclients.
I moved back to Colorado (was born in Denver) about 10years ago. Yes, I'm no spring chicken. For the last several years I have beencreating works in wood and have plans to combine gems with fine wood products.In the mean time I started collecting antique woodworking tools. I studied andworked with many a vintage tool. Realizing I could find good tools at auctionsand bring them to the public at a lower price that I had been paying. I LOVE OLD TOOLS MOSTLY WOODWORKING TOOLS BUT I MAY VARY ALITTLE. I ALSO LIKE ART AND CRAFTS, HAVING BEEN A CRAFTSMAN ALL MY LIFE. I BUYWHAT I LIKE, SOMETIMES IT DOSE NOT MAKE IT TO AUCTION IF I LIKE IT TO MUCH. SOMETIMESI CAN ONLY KEEP IT FOR A WHILE. Please feel free to contact me for any questions orrequests.
