I've always wondered why we don't make jewelry out of broken parts? Why not? Many times they are far more expensive than gold. :D

Sold out by STV/OMC racing rig and parts, listed them on a paper sack with prices that I paid and got for them. Mistake came went my beautiful wife found the bag. Her ownly comment was,
" Wow, I could have had a 2 carat diamond!"
Thank God that she is a great friend and wife.

ps The diamond that she has in mind cost about 25G's

Tom Hindley from Washingston State used to produce some really good looking stuff. From props, PRO hydros, and Unlimiteds.


I think he called his Company "Miniatures in Gold"

Anyone have a contact for Tom??

There was a Tom from Washington that was a jewelry maker, but I forgot his last name. I think he may have raced stock. I do know he always did pickup boat duty at the kilos at Devil's Lake. I ran into him at the APBA Convention in Portland, I believe 1978, and he asked if I had some slides he could use for their club banquet. I sent him a carosel full. Later on, he and a friend came to visit and spent the night at my Dad' house and he gave me a gold prop tie clip as thanks for the use of the slides. It is a minature 3 bladed prop with a little diamond in the middle. I have tie clips that friends from Germany, Italy and Sweden gave me with their boat club emblems, but I alway wear the prop one. I will take a picture of it with my digital camera. It is a beautiful piece of work. If it is the same Tom, I would recommend him to any boat racer who would like boat racing jewelry.
