This is Popular Science Handbook No. 9. Very Scarce surviving copy. In 1886, a 14 year-old Rudolph Nunnemacher became involved with the new Milwaukee Public Museum when he donated his rock collection. His passion to collect continued through the years, primarily obtaining decorative arts items, guns, and East Asian religious imagery. When he died prematurely in 1900, nearly 2,000 items were willed to the Milwaukee Public Museum, including his housewares and paintings from all over the world. The Nunnemacher Decorative Arts collection has continued to grow through donations to the Nunnemacher Collection. Rudolph Nunnemacher's original collection was heavily weighted toward firearms and edged weapons. In 1915, the Museum acquired the significant Lawrence collection. The firearms have grown to nearly 3,000 specimens, ranking it among the top half-dozen publicly held collections in America. It is a diverse collection in origin and type, including handguns, shoulder arms, and crew-serviced firearms, as well as an excellent collection of airguns. There is a good balance between civilian and martial arms, the latter further augmented by edged weapons (swords, knives, spears, etc., some in Anthropology) and also military uniforms, insignia, and accoutrements ranging from the War of 1812 to Desert Storm (1991). A major two-volume catalogue of the firearms written by John Metschl was published by the Museum in 1928. Eldon Wolff was employed at the Milwaukee Public Museum for over 40 years. In 1929, he started at the museum as an apprentice taxidermist in the Department of Anthropology. This Department was later divided into two departments (Anthropology and History). Wolff was assigned to the History Department. As an apprentice, he worked under the guidance of Dr. Paul Jenkins, Advisor on Arms to the Museum. He was ultimately promoted through the positions of Assistant, Curator I, II, and III. At retirement he was head of the History and Weapons Department. This was no small achievement for a person who did not have a college education. Eldon Wolff was truly a self-made man. He recognized that because at the time of his retirement, the requirements to fill the position he was vacating included a Doctorate Degree. He enjoyed writing so much that for many years he was on the museum's publication committee. In fact, for the last ten years he was at the museum he was editor of "Lore", the museum's official magazine. Many of his articles appeared in this and other museum publications. His articles were also published in many national periodicals. In all, he authored sixty-six books and articles on various subjects. He did extensive field research and was responsible for numerous exhibits at the museum including "The Streets of Old Milwaukee". He was an archeological assistant at a Hopewell Indian Mound excavation. Wolff's field research on Kentucky rifles and Wyatt Atkinson resulted in numerous publications, enhanced exhibits, a film and several television shows. He was also responsible for films or television shows on Airguns, restoring a Gatling Gun, pottery restoration, and the Fox River. He is not easily forgotten since a likeness of him appears as a Mountain Man in a Kentucky Rifle Mural and in a row boat in the Felicity Diorama. Eldon was a life member of the American Society of Arms Collectors and the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association. He was also a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and the National Rifle Association. He was a founder of the Wisconsin Gun Collectors Association and was also quite active in it. He held many official positions with the Wisconsin Gun Collectors Association. Roland Wolff (drawings) (illustrator).…
