Work let me put together a little exhibit in the display case at the nursing home I work at. I already had a few people say, " I knew people that worked at Allis-Chalmers!"

Excellent idea, and great conversation starter. Be sure to let us know what kind of stories it turns up.

Very nice display. I like the old AC pit helmet. I also clicked on about me and in your projects you show a beautiful light fixture. What is the story of it?

That’s a light fixture I restored
for the Winnebago County Courthouse in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Ditto on what the others have said... you are thinking of more ways to promote history and what we all enjoy, keep up the good work.
