Growing up, we had several car dealerships in town. The guy who owned one was a huge Winchester collector. When I was 12, I accompanied dad to a farm auction (I often had to as I was his porter for anything heavy). I bought a nice wood box, lid, iron hinges, filled with hatchets, hatchet heads and a few hammer heads, all for $2. That was Saturday. I was excited as there was a hatchet inside stamped Winchester and it had a leather sheath/cover. Got it home, dad looked it all over and told me on Monday to go to the hardware store and get handles for everthing, and start cleaning them up. Sunday I saddle soaped the leather sheath/cover and oiled the Winchester hatchet, as it was in good shape and sharp. Monday I do as I was told and at lunch, dad has the Winchester hatchet with leather sheath/cover in the kitchen. I found out the Car Dealer had waited all day for that box, for the hatchet and his bladder got the best of him, so I won the bid. Dad told me we were gifting it to him, as it would be a favour owed. )-: A few weeks passed, I cleaned/hafted 14 hatchets and 2 hammers. Then dad told me we were going on a trip. We went to the car dealer's house and I got a tour of his collection. 3 Henrys, 1866s, more 73s than I could count. He had at least one example of every commercial gun sold by winchester and had a patterson, a 51 navy, and several peacemakers. Also my hatchet! 3 years later my dad had handed out all but 2 hatchets to friends (he really liked having favors owed!!!!) and the cool box which is what I wanted somehow made it on the UHaul truck my sister loaded when she moved to Canada!! I still have the 2 hatchets. The Car Dealers collection was sold by his kids when he passed. I heard, but it was never confirmed, one buyer swooped in made a generous offer on the whole thing, and walked away with it all. In 1978 when I saw them, one of the Henrys looked nearly as good a shape as my 20 year old Uberti.
