Antiques Seminars

Clock Road Show • Tom Spittler
Thursday, March 25 • 7:30 pm

Concentrating on antique American clocks, the audience is invited to bring their clocks to the “road show” for identification and discussion. Mr. Spittler has amassed a library of references to identify make, model and age as well as a bit about their significance. Most references have price guides. Foreign clocks are welcome, but could present more of a challenge since reference material is less extensive. Bring watches for sharing and discussion only. No clock? Come and enjoy the show!

Early Handmade Knives • Dr. George H. Carroll
Thursday, April 22 • 7:30 pm

Dr. George H. Carroll and his wife Sharon have collected early handmade knives for over forty years. These knives range from ca. 1750-1825 and include both fixed blade and folding varieties. Dr. Carroll’s focus is the handmade weapons and tools that accompanied pioneers in their quest to settle North America. The audience is invited to bring in any knives or tools felt to be of this early period for comment by Dr. Carroll.

George Carroll received his B.A. from Wilmington College in Fine Arts and History; his M.A. from The Ohio State University in American Colonial and Early National Military History; his Ph.D. from Ohio State in Social Studies Education with content areas in Anthropology and Colonial History. He taught for 42 years with the last 38 of those years being at Urbana University. He is now retired.
