Back in the 1950s and 1960s, Dearborn, Michigan, had a great restaurant owner/gun collector named Andy Palmer. His restaurant, The Military Inn, was located at the corner of Michigan Ave. & Military (a Sherman tank was parked on the corner). I was a kid, living many miles away, and never got to go into the restaurant and see the amazing arms collection that decorated the place. However, Andy Palmer was a regular guest on the 'Sagebrush Shorty Show', a Detroit T.V., Saturday morning, Kid's show. Andy would appear, in period costume, with an Arm from his collection and explain its details and function to the little 'sidekicks'. (I especially remember a Frenchicon wheel-lock from the 1600s). In the 1970s, Andy had passed on and his collection went to 'Auction'. (The Auction Catalog was most impressive). As a Kid, I thought that was T.V. worth watching!
