Our tractor fender has been getting a lot of press lately!
In February, we received an inquiry from Utah that led to a mention of this famous holograph (handwritten) will in a blog:

The fender surfaced again a few weeks ago on the Canadian Association of Law Libraries ListServ. Greg followed up a post by the law librarian at the Western University Law Library with our new-and-improved photo and some additional details.
We get several visitors to our library each year who come to see this famous holograph will. Check out this short account of the case from The Lawyers Weekly:
“A dying man’s short will has a long history.”
If you zoom in on the photo you can make out the words scratched into the paint. Shout out to Robin for taking a great photo!
Very cool!
Did you have as much fun getting the glass off the case as we did a few years ago?
Awesome!
