this post is not to announce a new addition, but rather a number of subtractions.
I have come to an agreement with the
Hallie Ford museum here in Salem to donate my wife's
collection of
antiquities to their permanent
collection...
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=2424everything but the arrowheads will be on display there in her memory sometime soon.
this was something I've thought about doing for a few years now, and I think under the circumstances she would approve.
however actually taking them out of her display cabinet and packing them up was harder than I thought it would be.
the Hallie Ford museum is an extension of Willamette University, and they have a rather nice
collection of Greco-Roman items already, including coins. it will be nice to see her small
collection of
glass and statuary in context with the other permanent pieces displayed there, and now everyone who cares for such things will be able to enjoy them too.
