Ron Cole collects historic aircraft parts from all over the world. Only a small proportion of the material is offered to collectors in the form of limited-edition relic displays. Most are simply impractical, and many others are too important historically to be cut into pieces or altered to be made into displays. There are very interesting pieces, however, that can be incorporated into special one-of-a-kind relic displays. These displays are unique, typically larger than the limited editions, are custom framed, and are built around aircraft instruments, panels with unique markings, data plates, and so forth.
Ron Cole builds these pieces himself in between the daily shipping of regular orders whenever he gets the time, and they are almost always put on display at his home or in the Cole's Aircraft gallery. After a period of time, they are made available for sale and new pieces replace them.
