David Warther Carvings represent one man’s dedication to create a body of artwork for the benefit of the visiting public and his native community.
David Warther’s work is a collection of intricately carved miniatures that depict sailing ships from ancient Egypt, circa 3000 B.C. to modern times. The collection, now numbering over 80 ship carvings, is a highly educational exhibit of maritime history. When on public display, David’s exhibit of carvings has been seen by visitors from around the globe who have been inspired by the striking beauty of his artwork.
Carving from antique ivory and ebony wood, David’s works are designed using blueprints and drawings furnished by maritime scholars and researchers worldwide. Visitors are especially intrigued by the ivory rigging. Each line is made of ivory that has been hand filed to seven thousandths of an inch (.007″) in diameter and then masterfully applied to the ship carving. David developed this hand filing and sanding technique for making “ivory threads” at the age of 13, and has perfected it over the years.

Erb began collecting Coleman products more than 32 years ago.
“There was a need to service Coleman lanterns, which the Amish use, along with fishermen,” said Erb. “They would bring them to me to be repaired or they had an old lamp or lantern and would ask me if I wanted it,” Erb said. “I still repair the lanterns and lamps.”
That was how Erb’s collection got started.
There are two floors in the 30 by 60-foot museum, featuring more than 3,000 Coleman items, including actual gas cooking stoves, ice chests, irons, and advertising.
Among the items in the museum are Coleman hot plates, an electric brew (coffee pot), a taste oven and irons, as well as all types of Coleman lamps and lanterns.
Admission: $6.00 per person
Hours:
M-W: By appointment only
Th-S: 9:00am-5:00pm
