About Me

This is a quick profile I put on my store page at eBay. *** ~~rrcollectibles***~~ ~~~A short history.~~~~  At 11 years old, in the summer of ***, I had 8 different part time fobs. Mostly relating to newspapers. Some yard maintenance and some babysitting. At first, I walked my routes in a small, at the time, in the outer edges or LA county. Eventually I was able to purchase a new Western Flyer bicycle form Western Auto on the payment plan with my mother cosigning. It was $5.00 a month for 10 months. I loved the bike. ~~~~  At 16 years old I left home and worked full time in a metal fabrication department for a company that made patio furniture. I was the second fastest production operator on the brake and punch out presses in the plant. The Forman was the fastest. Also crushed 4 digits on my hands. ~~~~  At 19 years old I was a Sargent in charge of an Airborne Infantry Squad which had a M***machine gun crew. I was sent to the Republic of Viet Nam. Was wounded in the end of 67. When I came home I couldn't find a comfortable place to work so started my own business. In the late 60s and early 70s I made leather products, sold to a few stores and on the streets of San Francisco to the tourists. One of the first shops I sold to, when they had only two stores, was the Gap. ~~~~ After about 10,***belts and a good number of bags, satchels and key fobs I moved on to Jewelry. I started selling my silver as a San Francisco Street Artist (San Francisco Street Artist License No 28)~~~~ As I got into gold and precious gems I moved on to art shows first in Florida then eventually up the entire east coast along with the mid-west. Atlanta, Virginia Beach, New York City, all the big towns in Ohio, then on to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and many cities in between then back down south. While doing the touring I received over 70 awards for design and craftsmanship. By the time I was 40 I had my own jewelry store and became a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) in Delray Beach Florida. I designed, manufacturing, sold and appraising jewelry for ***families. During that time, I designed, developed, and taught the jewelry program for the Boca Raton Museum. I retired from the store (sold out at ***and only took on custom work or one-of-a-kind pieces for special clients. ~~~~ I moved back to Colorado (was born in Denver) about 15 years ago. Yes, I'm no spring chicken. For the last several years I have been creating works in wood and have plans to combine gems with fine wood products. In the meantime, I started collecting antique woodworking tools. Today I’m looking through a life’s collection of stuff and offering it up.
