<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vern, post: 29067, member: 347&quot;]The original collector(s) is not with us anymore.&nbsp; In fact, the property changed hands several times since his passing, along with the collection.&nbsp; Some things were pulled out of an attic and several other vole infested storage places.&nbsp; Luckily, there is a fairly dry climate here because these things may have gotten wet once or twice.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this property, just over 70 years ago, Kemit Roosevelt shot himself.&nbsp; The story wasn&#039;t reported until much time after his death and, to this day, claims it occurred on Fort Richardson.&nbsp; He actually did it in a brothel and the family couldn&#039;t let that be known.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you knew the people I&#039;ve met on this property you could only dream of who may have touched this wheel.&nbsp; I love that the metal is so soft.&nbsp; If you look closely, every wedding ring, bracelet, or cufflink that clanged against it while spinning it left a tiny dent.&nbsp; Thousands and thousands of them.&nbsp; That is patina.&nbsp; I love it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
