October 15 - December 2 Whirrs, Cogs & Thingamabobs, The Historic Dockyard Chatham
A collection of over 150 off-beat antique gadgets owned by award-winning collector Maurice Collins will be on display at No.1 Smithery: The Gallery. Maurice began collecting his obscure devices and inventions over 30 years ago and has since amassed almost 1,600 items ranging from a clockwork burglar alarm to an electric hair-restoring comb, two clockwork teasmades, a finger stretcher and even a mechanical envelope sealer. With such a vast collection of bizarre gadget and gizmos,
this exhibition is fun for the whole family and has something that will appeal to both traditional collectors and wacky inventor types.
