Gary, "LIKE" for your site is too casual of a word. We all LOVE your site, and want to thank you again for the care, craft and time you have invested to preserve this history. It is world class fantastic and we all owe you a debt of deep sincere gratitude.
Big time.

We held intents for a while to trade it with one of the aforementioned parties in an original bargain that fell through. I've had some on display in Bishop in recent years. There's interest now in possibly selling the collection onward for some value, but not sure exactly how we would go about it.

Bonjour HalHammer,
Great to hear of you here again. I downloaded all the photographs of your impressive collection in my computer a long time ago… I often “visit” them… My favorites are still the CMI Kirk’s Kamms with teeth on the cam lobes… ;-)

HalHammer,
I have been admiring your collection for years. There are a few items that you have that the Karabin Climbing Museum is very interested in. Please keep me posted on what you decided to do with your collection.

Thanx for the pictures, Marty,
Alright, 2 of the serious collectors kept your snaps of the collection.
That is beyond my archiving ability. Although there is a current post on mnt project.
Of old 70s aid gear, that looks very fresh, that I did swipe copies of pictures (of)
http://www.mountainproject.com/v/classic-aid-gear
For those of us who can only look & wish, learn & drool over can someone re-post more of the
Snap-shots of the gear ?

HalHammer - Dr. Gary Storrick may also be interested in a few of the rope devices for his collection.
Karabin Museum is interested in: 16 item wish list (begging on knees) Top three items are Dolt knurled Spider Nut largest size (are the other square nuts in the photo Dolt?), CMI rigged RokJox set (Stephane is hot for these also), I will love to have at least one size of the set, and Cassin hook (looks like a #7). I put the items I am interested in marked in the photos below. Gary has the rope devices monopoly so he can have first choices on the devices. I will love to have a few HalHammer items preserved in the Karabin Museum if possible.

In 1999 I contacted the Cassin factory and they were not creating the Gancio Da Ghiaccio hook anymore but they were able to find one for my museum. Actually they were being generous and put two of the hooks in the mailing envelope. But by the time I had received the Cassin package the items were missing and the package was empty. There was a small tear at the end of the envelope suggesting that the items had torn through the envelope. The factory sent the items unwrapped so they easily tore through the envelope. I have not seen another one of these Cassin hooks since 1999. The item is not necessarily valuable but since I have close to 300 different hooks, the item would be nice to include in the museum.

Yes almost all intact- minus the small John Brailsford Acorn and a handful of hexes that went toward a local brewery as new tap handles.

HalHammer - THANKS!
It has been a great year for the Karabin Climbing Museum! I now have a great place to display the museum at the Phoenix Rock Gym, and after the holidays a friend is introducing me to a glass company owner, where I can get as much glass for the displays as I want for free. My museum dream is in motion! Wow very very cool!
