One small corner of the amazingly huge assortment of neat stuff at The Antique Powerland Museums in Brooks, Oregon. This is just one of many lifetime collections of hardware-related stuff to be found in the sprawling 42 acre site.

Very nice. And, I don't mean to throw a wrench into your accolades, but I note in passing that such a collection pales in comparison to, say, a nice collection of souvenir pencils and pens . . . .
That said, man, what a bunch of wrenches! My first reaction was, no way - there have to be duplicates in there. My second thought was, well, perhaps over time such a collection might actually be incomplete . . . .
I'm not sure, but there may have been a collection of writing implements on display at this place. As noted, Antique Powerland is a sprawling 42-acre site with multiple buildings full of things mechanical. I was the only visitor that day and got the VIP treatment...I was driven around the grounds in a golf cart and got a personal tour of each of the main buildings by the docent/volunteers. Quite a different experience than one would have if they visited during the annual Oregon Steam-Up when 40,000 people or so show up for the festivities.
