his cabinets that are to "hold a variety of interesting tools from his
collection”.  If he was making these things to display in his own home, that
would be one thing, but to display them at events, and hint he would sell them
for big cash, is dishonest.

Could not agree more. IMO, it passes over the border into fraud or 
forgery. Not unlike painting in the style of Van Gogh then hinting that 
it might just be ... and suggesting its worth $millons. The difference 
is just a matter of scale.
