Thank you! I actually bought 2 1975 models; one uncarried and one that had been carried. I let my uncle talk me out of the uncarried one some time back. He will more than likely keep it forever. I would like to have an earlier example, but they are getting scarce.That inexpensive Barlow looks very Imperial sitting on a post, John!
Thanks, Bob.
Those barrel knives are quite irresistible!
Dutch Treat!
Sounds like your stretching exercises are paying off, Jer; that's quite an adult-onset growth spurt!
Generous gift of fishing gear, ED!
Outstanding ossification on that pair, Steve!
Impressive "blasts from the past"! Having a birth year canoe is something I dream about!
Splendid photo!
I'll bet those knives appreciated being photographed after patiently waiting for so long!
Splendid pair of canittlers!
Thanks, Zach.
I once thought maybe I should start hunting down as many patterns in the blue bone, red shield series as I could, but then I decided I already had too many knives on my bucket list.
I don't have an urge to get a motorized 2-wheeler, but an Alox X knife moves the needle!
I was also struck by the photo that included a can of Stroh's. I used to drink that brand quite often back in the 1970s. Is the "revived" version of Stroh's still "fire-brewed"? I remember "fire-brewed Stroh's beer" ads from Detriot Tigers radio broadcasts when I was a kid in the 1960s. I looked up the brewery's history online - pretty interesting. Started in Detroit in 1850, sold door-to-door from a wheel barrow; by 1982, Stroh's had become the 3rd largest American brewer, behind Anheuser-Busch and Miller. But by 2000, Stroh's had to sell out to Pabst. I didn't realize that when Stroh's was expanding, they bought out other brands including Augsburger, Goebel, G. Heileman (Old Style), Lone Star, Old Milwaukee, Schaefer, and Schlitz. I've never had the chance to try their ice cream.
That honeycomb muskrat is awesome!Acrylic covers?
Not surprising, Bob; those knives are earthshaking!
Somehow, I missed quoting @mbkr Mike's post about not giving any of his appliances internet access. That and ED's post gave me great pleasure, and remind me that I easily get my money's worth on The Porch ($30/yr membership, or about 8¢/day) in entertainment value.
Thanks, Steve.
Good to see you here again, Greg! Superb covers on your copperhead!!
