Provenance

Jay Gaynor

Gaynor, a native Virginian, got the history bug long before he enrolled in the College of William & Mary. After graduating in 1973 he went west and became an Assistant Curator at Ohio Village, where his interest in early tools and technology blossomed. From there, he assumed the Directorship of the High Point Museum in North Carolina before heading back to Virginia.

When Jay passed away suddenly on July 31, 2014, he was serving as Director of Historic Trades for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, a post which drew upon all of his previous experience as curator, tradesman, and researcher. It can be said that Jay never met an old thing he didn’t like. Incurably acquisitive, during his time as a curator at Williamsburg he single-handedly built a world class collection of 18th and early 19th century tools as used in early America. He also collected personally, and had interests in early 20th century radios and 19th century telegraphy and models, to name but a few.

Having grown up in a military family during the post-WWII period, it’s not surprising that he developed a keen passion for the arms and militaria of that conflict. In classic “Jay” fashion, he didn’t pursue these antiques half way—he went for it all! Collected over the course of many years, Jay tried to acquire whatever the WWII G.I. used and wore from head to toe, their variations, everything in between, and then some.

Jay had intended to enter the arms & militaria trade once he retired, so it’s clear he looked forward to sharing both his knowledge and his extensive collection. I have no doubt that he would have been more than pleased to see it presented for sale to the collecting community, in hopes that others may enjoy and learn from it as much as he did.
