Traditional Knives and Toys

Daisy Trail Boss, pop gun.
One more of my childhood toys that survived time. Early 70's-ish. I don't know if I could even guess how many (tens of) thousands of times this bad boy has fired. And still has a fairly good report and shoulder kick.

If Mom had given them to some kids who would have played with them, or donated them to charity, I'd been ok with it. I'm glad she had the foresight to not just throw them out. I certainly didn't. Mom was a smart cookie :D

I had a a brief period of time where I collected marbles in my dazed and confused early 20's. I was amazed at some of the craftsmanship in the German ones but also with the early American ones. I would buy lots where I could see marbles with pontils indicating they were handmade. I ended up acquiring so many of these glass spheres and I never really grasped identifying the manufacturers. Anyways lost interest in them after a dedicated 2-3 months.

Anyways I bought a new phone and have been playing with the camera...the glass vase and marbles made the Ohta pop out decent IMHO. This was my first custom traditional and remains a favorite.
