That's what I thought. Might seem to be too soon to repeat, but it would be nice anyway. Very underrated pattern imo.

Any ideas about golf flag? Is it a stretch to assume a Sportsman's knife?

Barrel is not for another 59, right? Or another oak barrel wood covers? Too soon.

What's Yellow Dog. Is it a camping kettle? But why two-sided?

This was new to me, too. Here's what The Google says:

Yellow Dog – Oilfield Lantern​

A two-wicked safety lamp for preventing “destructive conflagrations” on oil derricks.

Oil patch lore says “Yellow Dog” lanterns got their name because of two burning wicks that resembled a dog’s glowing eyes at night. Others say the lamps cast an eerie dog’s head shadow on the derrick floor.

Rare is the community oil museum that doesn’t have a Yellow Dog in its collection. Officially patented a decade after the Civil War, the two-wicked “Derrick Safety Lamp” would become an oilfield icon. But long before Yellow Dogs found their way to the oil patch, a similar design burned animal fat atop America’s lighthouses.

Model #77 Washington/Yankee Jack, Whiskey barrel covers, with a golf divot tool & keystone shield? Or is that encroaching on S&M territory? 🤔

I didn’t think of that!! If Bill makes a knife with a divot tool built in I’m all over it!

Thanks for the research! First thing that crossed my mind was some sort of railway equipment since they had some strange things like the smudge pots.
 
Well, the last time the 38 farmers were ran were 10 years ago. Highly likely we see some more 77's. It likely won't be anything we think up though and it sure as heck won't be Washington Jack's. It'd be nice to get the two blade yankee jack's again though. You just never know what ol Bill is cookin' up.
