Busse Patch AND Official Busse Piglet

Or how about a chuck of shrapnel received from combat that split in two, the half on left was tangled in my OTV and just made entry into my abdomen and the piece on right was pulled out my thigh a few years later....hence the discoloration.

Wow.. just have to say that thats hard as ****

Well Jody, where is your contribution to the thread. I know you've got something you can add.

It is really cool to see what others have so join in and show it off here.

This thread is becoming very cool. I gotta step up my game:

I have stuff that I have not taken pictures of that would be cool to post, but this is all I can come up with. Oh well.

TT bike I built up for time trials during my racing years and then got out of racing and it never got used, just hangs on a wall now.

My car.

Neither are one of a kinds though

 

[Colog]

May not be one of a kind....but awesome none the less.

 

[Will York]

Incredible rides. That 911 looks better every time I see it.

Now how about an interior shot of the SHBM -lined mancave?

 

[Cobalt]

well no SHBM lined mancave anymore. Although I wish I still had them all.

However, here is a nearly one of a kind, original SHBM-LE. Why is it rare? Because it went out without the finishing Logo or numbering. No designation at all. But it is an LE and the number was intended to be placed on it along with everything else. However, the purchaser who personally picked it up in May of 1998 did not want anything placed on the blade.

Oh and it is also a massive Fatty for an SHBM

Got this one-off from Chris Reeve. Made over 20 years ago. That's preban ivory that goes all the way through the knife. He called it a "Blackmoor Dirk." Overall length is about 14".

what a beauty. I love damascus look.

 

[Cobalt]

very cool. A handcuff ring. I like it

Sweet ride. Not something you see everyday in CO.

OK, here's something a little different: a VietCong flag I found while searching caves on Charley Ridge in VietNam in 69'.

My buddy flew in with Tony Orlando a few years ago.

Holy cow. You actually park the 911 next to the grocery cart return? Eeeeeeeep! Ballsy, but I like it.

How fat? That thing is fine, if it ever gets lonely.....send it to live with its brother in Louisiana!!!!!

A story that has a photo to go with it. My Grandfather (Robert Juner) and his brother (Oscar Juner) used to race the 6-day races in the 30's and 40's. They grew up on City Island in New York. They both moved to San Francisco as young men and continued racing. When the Golden Gate Bridge opened up in 1937, my Great Uncle decided he would be the first cyclist to cross it. Opening day came and he set out. He quickly ran into a problem though. The drainage grates hadn't been set up for bikes so they didn't have the cross strips to keep tires from falling in. His front tire went into the grate and he stopped traffic. I was told the photo was posed but funny nonetheless. He ended up opening up the first bike shop in San Francisco. American Cyclery. He sold it off years ago. Here is an article on him in a local paper.

I collect old bridge arm lamps. Some just needed a little TLC to make presentable and others some serious elbow grease. I rewired them all, installed new swivels and sockets and shades.

Bridge lamps have been in the homes of all my family and relatives for generations. Great for reading and for small places were you lack room for full table lamps. I have 6 more in storage but those will be a project after I retire.

If you happen to have old lamps that need parts, here is who I go to. Nice people.


Art Deco-Eagle bridge arm. I believe this one is all original.

This one is all original but was in very poor condition so I blasted it, sanded, primed and painted it.

Another

Another with parts from several donor lamps.

Twins

This one took a month to polish. It was dark brown from patina when I got it.
