An opportunity to purchase at absolute auction items that were acquired over-the-decades by Frank T. Barnes, a noted author who in 1988, wrote the acclaimed book on New England Iron that is titled: "Hooks, Rings & Other Things". The majority of items featured in this auction are in the book, with the only exception being the items he acquired after the book was written. Upon his death, he had stipulated that the collection be given to a museum and the collection eventually made the trip west to Fort Boonesborough on the Kentucky River for display. The Fort Boonesborough Foundation has made the decision, after keeping some for their display, to pass the items on to the next generation of collectors of this fine example of frontier and colonial ingenuity. You will find iron lighting, tools, hardware, farm, fishing, and architecture listed-all without reserve.
