Peter, great collection of Dolt bashies...
Here's some more on display at Gary's shop.
And a detail of the bashies.
Any ideas what the re-numbering thing is all about?

My bet is too much alcohol...
If you are in a stable place with your image hosting, it would really be fun to reshoot or repost all of the photos from Gary's shop in a new thread. The last one was cool but can't be edited anymore.
I love to see Neptune's Trove!

This little piece of plastic leaves me scratching my head in wonder. Why? When? How many? and then Why again!
My best guess is that it was a marketing piece that Dolt personally handed out. Again, my guess is that he made it in late 69 or 70.
Any ideas?

I recently picked up another Type W Doltster for show and tell. Dolt loved these things and it shows. Patent Designation Number #208289.
The taller version on the right just lets a new Yosemite hammer pass.

On the subject of holsters, does anyone know where they can be bought now? Holsters of the same type as the Dolt ones that Steve posted? The kind that you put on a belt? I need one.

Hey All,
If I've somehow missed the answer to this question, please forgive me the oversight.
Does anyone know the whereabouts of the stamps Dolt used to mark his gear?
I'm not asking out of interest in acquisition, but rather out of curiosity. It would be nice to know that they are somewhere in good care.
Thanks much.
Audrey

Audrey,
I think that Marty Karabin may have some but Don would be the best source of information on their whereabouts.

Do you think Dolt knew Bill Sewrey ( of Arizona Desert Mountain Sports). His Arizona original shop on 16th street was always a gathering , happening place. In '83 or '84 Bill Sewrey decide to sell his personal wall and climbing rack due to his own personal back , health and age issues. I bought as much of his rack as I could afford. It has Dolt, Forrest, Chouinard hardware. If not for this post ,I would have not known of those Dolt type skyhook symmetrical looking hooks. I thought Bill Sewrey made it and now it looks like it is a Dolt. Thanks to all who added to this historic post. I'll post pic's when I dig into my sea chest.

jabbas- The number of retail shops was pretty small back in those days so the two Bills had to know each other. The Summit Hut carried Dolt gear in 1970 when I started climbing and had done so for years. Sure wish that I had bought it all, BITD! Who knew...

:D I have a few more, but I wouldn't want to bore y'all to tears.
Edit:
Thanks for catching my typo, Clint.
Bill's grandmother on his father's side was Caroline Bechtold, daughter of Ambros Bechtold and Theresia Hoerth. The families were in winemaking, going back generations. We'll have to wait until late October to learn who Bill's mother's parents were -- this is when the genealogist was able to make an appointment with the church to view the records. Despite untold hours of research, I haven't been able to determine how she is connected to a cousin and certain uncles who also came to the U.S. after WWI.

I'm seeing a marriage of Maximilian Feurer and Luitgard König on 24 Nov? 1858.
With him age 30 (geb. 12/3 Okt 1828) and her age 24 (geb. 6 Jun 1834).
