Katie and Fred Feightner cutting up for me in 2006
If you are a case fan, then I know you were sad, as I was, to see Shirley retire as Case’s historian back a couple of months ago. But like the old Case Brothers (1896- 1914) slogan from around the turn of the last century says, “The dawn of a better day breaketh.”
Katie Shonts is now Case’s new historian and archivist. She started with Case some 16 years ago and will be a valuable asset to collectors. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Katie related to Case’s auctions in Bradford. She will do great in this new role too.
Katie’s background and experience speak for themselves and there seems to be no doubt that Case has left the position of Historian in very capable hands. Even better news is that they have also brought my friend Shirley back as a consultant, so she will be attending several dealer events this year. I’m very glad to see that they were smart enough not to let her get away entirely.
Glad to hear that about Shirley.
