In 1877 a second fire destroyed 76,000 models there. By 1893 the agency was strapped for space, so it hauled about 150,000 models to an abandoned livery stable. Congress ordered them sold in 1925. Before that sale, though, curators from the Smithsonian were allowed to cull the models to take what they wanted. Some models were returned to the inventors' families, and many were destroyed. The remaining lot was sold to Sir Henry Wellcome, the founder of the Glaxo Wellcome pharmaceutical company (now called GlaxoSmithKline ( news/quote )), who intended to establish a patent model museum. But he abandoned those plans after the 1929 stock market crash. Over the next decades the models were acquired by a Broadway producer, then by a group of businessmen who went bust and finally by an auctioneer. In 1979, Cliff Petersen, an aerospace engineer, bought 800 crates of models ? about 35,000 models ? many of which were in their original government packing. Mr. Petersen donated 30,000 models and $1 million to the United States Patent Model Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose goal was to set up a museum. That effort, however, went sour, and later was the subject of an unfavorable report by the investigative TV program "20/20."When Mr. Petersen died last year, Mr. Rothschild acquired several thousand patent models from Mr. Petersen's estate. The remaining models are scattered in public and private collections throughout the United States. The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Michigan, the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware and the Smithsonian all have significant collections. A number of individuals have also amassed collections. Diane Davie of Woodbridge, Va., is such a collector. She and her husband, Jim Davie, who is a patent examiner and recognized as the agency's unofficial historian, own about 200 models. Several patent models are sold every month on eBay ( news/quote ). This month a washing machine went for about $3,000. Mrs. Davie said that the best way to establish a model's provenance was to have its original patent office tag attached, often with a red ribbon, an arrangement that supposedly gave rise to the expression "government red tape." "Otherwise," Mrs. Davie said, "it's hard to know that it's not just a salesman sample." The largest share of patent models appears to be held by J. Morgan Greene, who was affiliated with the United States Patent Model Foundation. Mr. Greene could not be reached for comment, but several patent model aficionados attested that as recently as a year ago they saw the collection of about 20,000 models stored in a warehouse in Alexandria, Va. In exceptionally good condition.
