Death of a legend
 
I spent most of my day today at an auction located at Kilmartin Industries ( http://www.rogerwilliamsmint.com ) in Attleboro. Sad to see a company disappear like this.

The end of tokens, Custom belt buckles, custom coins. What a shame. I seen 150 ton machines get sold for $1000 today. 150,000 sq feet of machinery sold for about $250k less the auctioneers take.

Musta been a way cool place in it's day. I stopped and looked at some of the dies that were being sent to the new company in cincinnatti, there were Olympic coin dies, special event coin dies, all kinds of special wildlife dies etc.

Absolutely nothing to do with a fishing site, but figured since it was a local thing some may not even know this was there.

Sad to see manufacturing leaving the area. Soon we will make nothing in this country. It is what made this country what it is. Most people don't care as long as it is cheap.
