Lucky bastard if you do - don't even know if I could even stand to send one of those to Marty (I'm sure I would, though [oh NO my precious, you would not...]).

I have some that look similar made by clog. Nice little hand made hand hammered things they are. Nowhere near as nice as one made by Dolt I'm sure though.

Still sounds cool - you should post up a couple of pics of it...

I believe that Joseph may be coming to the TarParty, and hope he can bring some treasures from his cave, for show and tell.

Mighty,

Not sure I personally have anything of real note - pretty much it all has gone to Stephane with a bit going to Marty or Ken. Kind of getting to a place where it would almost be eaiser to have the lists of what they still need and do a big campaign to go after it all as opposed to the endless ebay dribbles to date. Or at least I fantasize that would be possible, but probably not. Some things are just in too weird a place to get at that way. Most all of what I had or what's passed through my hands is in the various pictures you see up on the Nut Museum site.

The Porter gear came from a long abandoned storage unit that finally got auctioned of down in Santa Clara - never know where this stuff might be lingering...

I'll post some pics for you as soon as I get a new camera. Mine died when it took a 1000ft dive in the Valley.

Maybe I'll start a show and tell thread. I got lots of hand forged pitons, funky hooks, forrest chimney chocks, T chocks nuts and bashies, Moac nuts, oldschool cams etc...

I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like to see this crap.

Sal, would love to see photos of it all. I know Stephane is looking for what he describes as:

"MOAC (England) MOAC original chock on wire"

I lost one on the 3rd ascent of the Dihedral Wall. Used two of them on the 2nd ascent of the NA Wall. Still have one in my box of obsolete hardware.

I've got a beautiful MOAC on my rack. I will be placing it this weekend. I'll post a pic later.

Somewhere along the way I did, don't remember who had it, but I remember not liking how hard it was to clean...

Salamanizer show us your nuts! Not those nuts your other nuts. I have over 200 different hooks and you mentioned you have some funky ones, besides other fun items of history. waiting...waiting....waiting...sigh...waiting...waiting...

Rock on!

I tried to show off some of my stuff in another thread a few weeks back titled "Show and Tell". No one seemed interested and it got buried under piles of OT crap. So I lost interest in posting pics of my junk.

But sense you asked:



Clog and Stubi hooks, don't know what the CMV stands for.
