FIREARMS: The Collection of the M.O. Hallock Family plus additions

It is appropriate that Macy O. Hallock collected Civil War firearms, as he was a relative of Civil War General Henry W. Halleck (the family name has been spelled different ways over the generations).  Of course, Hallock collected more than just guns—a 1940 newspaper article written about him describes some of his “25 collections,” including American Indian relics (his primary passion), as well as smoking pipes, fossils, buttons, coins, and much more. When the Hallock family decided to begin dispersing its multi-generational collection, Garth’s was honored to have been chosen to sell the items.

A dealer as well as a collector, Hallock and his wife, Clara, exhibited at many antique shows in the Midwest in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, often in period costume portraying Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln.  It wasn’t long before Macy’s son, also named Macy, joined the game, helping his father drive to and from shows, setting up their booths, and of course, selling all manner of antiques.  Today, the tradition continues as the children and grandchildren of the younger Macy travel with their father and grandfather to shows.  These days, however, the family’s focus is principally on Civil War firearms, edged weapons, and accoutrements. This session will include a wonderfully broad and deep collection from the Hallock family of muskets, rifles, revolvers, swords, bayonets and accoutrements, plus a handful of additions from other consignors.

Both are welcome additions for me. I've found the quality of Xbox headsets to be generally poor and, with the 360 being an increasingly versatile multimedia machine, tools to enhance the experience will be happily received.

Grizzly Tools G0454 20″ Thicknesser Planer

The Grizzly G0454 thicknesser planer is a very solidly built machine and weights in at 920 lbs. but even at this weight the foot operated castor system makes it an easy machine to move around the shop. Other features are cast iron extension wings, adjustable bed rollers, board return rollers, two speed and powered by a 5 hp motor. You have a choice of a traditional straight knife cutterhead or the G0454Z with spiral cutterhead & 4-sided German made carbide inserts for ultra smooth surfaces. is a good machine that seems to have just a few smaller problems that sometimes show up. The depth indicator is not as good as it could be, and you certainly require infeed and outfeed tables to prevent dropping the timber. The height locks need to be tightened very securely or they may rattle loose. Another user feels that even though the motor is rated as 5 hp it still lacks sufficient power.

Users do recommend that you get the spiral cutterhead for a better machine and finish. The extra costs involved may prevent some from taking this route. This thicknesser planer when fitted with the spiral cutterhead produces a great deal less noise than the conventional style head.
