Stubai Hammer (1972)
Vertical Archaeology acquired this Stubai hammer from a collector in Germany. He sent a photo and I remembered seeing the exact model in a recently archived 1972 Ellis Bingham catalog so we made a deal and transferred the hammer. Personal connections and shared interests are some of the main reasons collecting and preserving this equipment is so rewarding. I have made friends all over the world who have contacted Vertical Archaeology to make donations, offer sales, or conduct research.
I have some 1950″s and onwards climbing gear so am fascinated by your site and collection. more power to your elbows.
Best, Pete
