Patternmaker's Router. The miniature tool favors produced by the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors to commemorate their biannual Best in the West meets are legendary and collectibles in their own right. In addition to the ordinary favors that are available to all attendees, the Club also produces a limited number of special favors in exotic materials that are awarded to persons who have rendered special services, or sold at auction. The 2002 favor was a patternmaker's router, and this is one of the special favors, with a rosewood base and knobs and carved bronze body, in its original box with sawdust packing and certificate of authenticity.
