A Visit from a Mezuzah Collector

A few days ago we had a special visitor at the studio.  Stuart, from New Jersey, had originally contacted Gary about a replacement tube for a mezuzah.  It turns out that Stuart is an avid collector of Mezuzot, framing them as works of art and he has quite a few of Gary's work in his collection.  He was looking for something special to top off his collection at 100 mezuzot - one thing led to another and soon he made a trip down to help custom make his final mezuzah.

Stuart and Greta look over mezuzah designs.
