If the Ornamental Metals Museum commits to putting together a traveling 
trunk exhibit it sounds like that would best meet the desires expressed 
and would relieve us of the logistics burden.  Here's what Albin 
recalled about a previous traveling trunk exhibit:

A couple of years back, ABANA and the Metal Museum sponsored an exhibit of
hand forged locks.  Basically for the cost of shipping and insurance an
ABANA Chapter could get this exhibit sent to them.   We had it come  for a
BLACKSMITH GUILD OF CENTRAL MARYLAND Monthly meeting.

They called it a traveling trunk exhibit, because everything fit into a
large "trunk" (actually it was a crate with form fitted and lined openings
for each piece of the exhibit)  and it "traveled" from chapter to chapter.
We got it from one chapter and shipped it off to the another one.  As I
remember, there were about 8-10 locks in the exhibit.

I think we should definitely pursue this idea with the Ornamental Metals Museum.
