Not to confuse the herd but to add to the mix of well deserving collectors: Jeff Thomas, as the archivist for the Mazamas, is actively trying to add items to their museum. He says it's public and anyone can go and perv on it, although I have yet to see it. Of particular interest is things which may have a historical attachment, ie, this ice ace was used by climber X on the first ascent of climb Y.....that kind of thing.
The Mazamas are a climbing club that's been doing it for 118 years and is open to all. BTW, I have seen the new climbing wall in their auditorium and it's the sweet total schitt. Stop by and perv on that....wow. Great hand and finger cracks.

At my local rock gym someone donated a bam-nut tool to the a shadow box display. How lame is that? I'm breaking in soon... I'll replace it with an old slinged shelf bracket that I used to clean nuts with.

Very nice - I have (2) of the one that is in the middle.
Curious; is the swaged one the oldest of the three that you have there?

The Forrest Mountaineering Wire Nut Tool is the most recent nut tool made by Bill Forrest. It hit the market in 1983.
It took fifteen years to me to complete this collection. Thank you Joseph, thank you Bill...

I don't really know what this is worth but if anyone here has any particular interest in a Forrest nut tool let me know:

I'd be happy to send it to a 'good' home for a 'fair' price.
Thanks

Looks like it is sold. If not, I'd be interested.
