History:  

MORRISTOWN, a city platted in the autumn of 1855 and incorporated as a village in 1874, and its township, organized May 11, 1858, received this name in honor of Jonathan Morris, who was born in Pennsylvania, January 9, 1804, and died here November 27, 1856. After being for 25 years a minister of the denomination called Christians or Disciples in Indiana and Ohio, he came to Minnesota in 1853 and settled here in 1855. The post office was established in 1856, with Walter Morris, son of Jonathan, as postmaster.

From the early 1940’s to the mid 1960s, if you wanted quality gun work completed to your exacting specifications and at a fair price too, the man you would call on was Martin J. Ahlman Sr., aka “Coyote Cap”. Cap picked up that nickname back in the 1930s when he was a young man, riding the rodeo circuit. As years passed and Cap started a family, he turned to gunsmithing as a less bone breaking way of making a living. Cap was considered by friends and customers to be an artist and in the span of 25 years, Cap built over 400 "Custom" Sporting Rifles for African and Alaskan hunters, Movie and Television stars and folks just like you.

I work in three mediums:

  • Serti Batik
  • Glass (Lampworking Beads & Fused Glass)
  • Fine Silver Jewelry tooled from Precious Metal Clay (PMC)
I love to develop collections. 
My May - June bracelet collection is made up with brightly colored "hollow" lampwork glass beads.  Embellishments of hand tooled silver disks and bead caps with inlayed Swarovski crystals add that extra pizzazz. Priced between $125.00 - $325.00.
The "Upcoming Collection" will feature brightly colored Serti Batiks.
