    Sorber Collection to be Auctioned

    Almost the entire collection of blacksmith made items of the James
    C. Sorber collection will go to auction on Friday, May 13, 2005.
    This includes the 700+ items shown in the book, *Colonial Wrought
    Iron* as well as an additonal 1,000-1,500 items. Preview hours for
    the week prior to the sale will be posted on the website as well. An
    illustrated catalogue will be available via the website
    approximately 3-4 weeks prior
    to the sale.

    The auction will be held at Pook and Pook Auctioneers in
    Downingtown, PA. Details, when available, may be viewed at the Pook
    and Pook auction site: www.pookandpook.com
    <http://www.pookandpook.com/>

Please visit http://www.metalmuseum.org/donations.htm
The idea is to spread the word, get people to visit this site and make a 
donation of any size.
The money collected will be used to buy select pieces from the auction 
of the Sorber collection.
These pieces will become part of the permanent display in the  Metal 
Museum in Memphis.
It is too bad that the collection is being broken up. This is one way to 
help save a small part of it for posterity.
thanks for your consideration,
dave mudge
