Thanks for the link to the CR photos, Pete. They show, for sure, part of Jeff's collection, but I think he has relocated and expanded the display since they were taken. Jeff's shop is now only at 310 Winslow Way, Winslow, Bainbridge Island, WA. He has had other (sometimes multiple) locations, but I think has everything in this one spot now. The website link on Jeff's CR page still takes you to the correct virtual site, but don't try to find him at that street address! You'll end up at Island Sports (which I'm sure is a worthy establishment where the clerks have not heard of Pop Brennan).
