Paul Hilborn needs no introduction around these parts. Many of us have been the recipient of his legendary generosity and it has touched me again. Paul sent me a spectacular reddish hued saw-cut bone Primble Barlow. He knows I like the oldies :D Now this is one of the coveted John Primble Belknap HDW & MFG. Co. specimens. It has been thoughtfully cleaned and sharpened to a Razors edge. Did I say razor! I am sure its many times sharper than the specimen he sent to Primble! I just know it.

As he also knows, I collect old coins. I am honored to receive this old 1944 penny ( or cent as it has been debated ) and even more special is its...

A Penny from the Window ( if you gather around the porch often....you understand )

Thank you, Paul!! I will carry it often, my friend;):D

Both these guys rock! well done, without you both this place would not have the light, and the shadows would be all the colder.
 
Way to go, guys! :thumbup: Thanks for sharing the story, Gevonovich, and kudos on your thoughtful act, Paul.
This has been a trying day for me, but I can always count on finding a post like this here to cheer me up!

Could be, but, I wouldn't bet my life's savings on it, if I were you. Be careful if it is. ;)
