Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

Scratted!
This one is from the giddy early days of phone-ordering. Quite inexpensive, but still too pretty to carry. And where would I find another one now?

Also too shiny to photograph.

Nice Jer, it doesn't seem too long since that was a new thing - well not to me, but I am always a decade behind, at least! I've only had a credit card about 5 years!

Wow!
I've had a credit card since the late 80s, but this knife is older than that. So maybe it was from sending a check days.

One of my first GEC's, and a firm favourite, from the first run of #15 Boy's Knives

I bought this Utica at the Bank Street flea market maybe forty years ago, maybe more.


I made a poor choice of background. It's a little less drab than I've made it look.

I guess this is a "true" old Friend, as it has been many hours in my hand and in my pocket. Looks about as fresh as I do, I reckon, @ 79. Meanwhile, I am plumb tuckered out from shovelin,' so I asked the Katie dog what she thought about this whole snow deal and she sent me this pittcher.

Thanks!

The covers are plastic, and it's got a four line stamp, so probably celluloid. I keep it in the open air.
