| 48. Rudy Turnstone - This contemporary Rudy Turnstone
was handcarved and mounted on driftwood by bird carver, Bill
Collins of Hingham. Bill has been carving birds and fish for
about twelve years. Each piece is different, hand carved by
Bill and painted by his wife, Darthea Collins. Bill started
bird carving after his father-in-law passed away. Bob Hoss (father-in-law)
was a well-known bird carver and Bill inherited Bob's patterns
when he passed away. Bill decided to carry on the Hoss tradition
and does a number of the same birds that Bob did through his
career and more. Bob's signature piece was a replica of a child's
toy of the Boston Public Garden Swan Boats. He sold over 200
of them during his career. Bill started with the Swan Boats
and has now branched off to doing his own creations as well.
The Rudy Turnstone is one of Bill's own creations. Bill and
his father-in-law (postumously) were featured on Channel Five's
Chronicle several years ago. More information on the Rudy Turnstone
and other hand carved birds and fish and the Swan Boat can be
obtained by emailing
Bill. |

| 50. Les Paul Guitar knock-off. Here is the last Les Paul knock-off in my collection. Please bid high to be the new owner of this 1970's sunburst Les Paul Standard model guitar. During the late 70's America found it defending its patent syste and in so doing, the lawsuit centered on Japanese and Korean imported guitars that were dead on copies of USA made Gibson Les Paul Guitars. The USA refused to allow their imported cars until they stopped copying/importing our patented guitars. This is one of those guitars made in Asia, it is as close to the real thing as you can get. The electronics are awesome! It's a very good copy of the real Les Paul Standard sunburst, (needs a pick guard to be perfect) made by Royce! Comes in a new black gig bag for transport to lessons or the garage next door along with a new set of strings and picks. These copied Les Paul guitars have become very collectable! Once again donated by our longtime supporter Fred Markham. |
