Completed Imperial BSA GAW

Not an entry just a thank you for a very generous giveaway and a
Good Luck to everyone who enters. :)
 
I'm in! I've always loved the look of the old scout knives. They always look as though they carry so much history with them :thumbup:
 
Jack, thanks- I have just that one issue of the magazine, bought at an estate sale just for that striking depiction of ideal womanhood. (Her knife and gun must be under the jacket.)

Great find my friend :thumbup: May I present my one copy of Potato Review?! :D



It's called Almeizer, no, Al the meister, no Alschmeisser, pfff dunno, but the forename is Aloïs! Same happens to me, makes ready-made gifts!

:D
 
I just noticed that the magazine cover was from my birthday month! January 1985!

Maybe an omen-
I was fortunate enough once to have an omen come out backwards: I was sure I was going to die when I found a silver bat floating face down in a rain-water bucket, just before my first airplane flight, which was to be overnight and over water.
 
It's Saturday and we're off of page one, so I drew numbers using a standard deck of cards that I've been cutting and shuffling daily. Dealing from the top, I ignored court cards and jokers, numbers that were non-entries or posts of my own, and numbers above 33. (A-10S= 1-10, H=11-20, D=21-30, C=31-40)
This GAW got more attention than I'd expected, so I'm giving away both of my extras instead of one.
The distribution is spooky, but the selection was as random as I can make it.
Bearbug wins the knife announced.
I hope all is well with Gearhead22, from whom I haven't heard back. Second knife goes to TheChunk91

If you guys can e-mail me your addresses, I'll pick up some mailers and get these out as soon as I can. (If there's trouble with my e-mail, please let me know here.

Thank you Sir for the GAW. What a great way to start the weekend! I won a knife and I'm heading to Iowa City soon to watch the Hawks play. I haven't been to a college game in three years. Thanks for the kick off to a great weekend.
 
I drew a couple of extra numbers yesterday just in case.
If I don't hear from Gearhead22 in a reasonable length of time the second knife will go to TheChunk91.
I don't know what I was thinking- these knives are both in good shape.

Sorry about the bat story, 5KQs. I hate the vile, foul, unnatural monsters myself. And sure they eat a lot of mosquitoes if you put them in a box of mosquitoes, but they'll eat bigger fatter bugs instead if left to their own devices.
 
Congrats to the two (three?) winners, and thanks for the gaw
