The trading and shuffling of TCs has proceeded at a dizzying pace!:eek:

At this rate, few will have the original TCs they have purchased, but will have an admirable array nonetheless!

Reminds me of the old baseball card trading days of the 1950s and 1960s!

What fun that was . . . . . .except for the bubble gum - it was awful stuff.:p

I promise never to insert Bubble Gum as a "prize" in TC Barlows!!
:rolleyes:

Be back in a few days - gone to Jackson to "intercept" that soup bone deal. ;);):eek::eek::eek::eek::D

♬ We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town !!! ♬

I loved that bubble gum Charlie - but - it did pull a few teeth fillings out ! :D:D:D​

Primble, that Saddle Brown is something, isn't it? I have one and absolutely love the color. Your Macassar looks exceptional, too.

bleh, great pic of the Antique Yellow. You captured the color mix and depth of jigging well!
 
If I can find any of that old bubble gum, I'll send it to you Rob!!;)

It'll probably still taste just the same!:eek:

:D:D
 
Fish Bone custom Barlow. I will have the stamping die done in 3-4 weeks. All steel bolsters and liners, 1095 steel blades and backs prings hand made by me

This is no infringement on you Charlie, they are for me and a few friends ;)

That's AWESOME.
 
I should be headed down to the post office, but I will get to it tomorrow!

Meantime, it turns out some ancient* Barlows had stag on them! Sort of a contradiction, given the utility/economy mission of the design, but I am sure you will all figure it out in a few seconds!!:)

I though some were bone, but a close look reveals Staggy characteristic!:D
