Largest collection of bricks

This is Clem. He has the world's largest brick collection

Let's take a look. The great time for making the bricks was about maybe 1870 to 1910

And every pound had to have their own bricks because they needed it

Really needed them for fireplaces. A special kind of brick like this, a white one, has a certain clay which stands here

And everybody needed a fire pump. Collecting anything, it kind of gets away from them

This is a very rare brick here. A pound, we became a state in 197

And Leota was a little town in western Oklahoma and it lost its post office in 196 So that a long time ago when that town to disappear

But luckily I got one of those. This is the Tulsa Indian Territory, IT, and that's a good one to have

This brick is thicker. These were used in streets. So he had bricks in streets, he had bricks for walls, bricks for houses

They're all somewhat different. Sometimes there's a spelling mistake

Are those more valuable than correctly printed ones? Sometimes they are. And I think Oklahoma has a history for the most

misspelled books I don know why Maybe our age case on system was not real good But one of my favorite bricks we don know where it from exactly

But this is a sidewalk brick. Turn it around. And this is the brick that they used, we think it was made in Washington, D.C

And the only brick made in Washington, D.C. maker in Washington DC ever was where the Pentagon is now

So there may be some of these under the Pentagon, but I think that this is one of the ties

This is interesting. I got this from a museum in Jefferson City, Tennessee

It's a Roman brick, and it was made 100 AD. What it feels to me about where it says they have names

and you can trace them back. historically the places and that always improved me I will say something about the barn too My son and I built this just expressly for the brick

And he, it was unusual, but I like that. How do you, how did you count all these bricks

Well, I didn't count them. I was on a brick job and I had nothing, no idea what was going on

But my daughter and son-in-law organized an application and they and some of their friends

counted me, verified them by videotape and I got back in town and it was a big surprise

And I'm very happy to have this certificate. I don't feel to have that certificate
