Gevonovich and Halfstop

I'm totin' a couple of John Primble Belknap HDW. & MFG. jacks, which were kindly gifted to me by two of our beloved porch members. Gevonovich gifted me the jumbo jack and the medium jack was gifted to me by Halfstop. A star on the back of both of the mains indicate that Boker made these for Belknap Hardware, between 1940 and 1968. I have had them about ten years now and they normally reside in my Primble Display cabinet. I included an updated pic of the display cabinet to show where they usually live. Some of my Primble knives are rotated out of the cabinet currently. I really miss those guys. 😊

What a GREAT collection!
That display case is full of awesome pieces.

I'm just starting my Schrade collection and am on the hunt for a Primble 935 with sawcut bone handles to round out my stockman collection.
 
This has been my year for AC failures 🥵 The heat pump at the Tennessee trailer has cooled its last. The ac in the PT Cruiser (Tennessee car) quit, and when the local shop estimated a repair bill of $1300, I told them I'd just roll the windows down like we did back in the day

Then on Monday, the hottest day of the year, my Missouri ac malfunctioned. It would blow cold, but only for 4 or 5 minutes at a time. Its a big window unit, so this morning I pulled it out of the window. Its filthy. Really filthy


The designers made it almost impossible to clean the cooling fins without complete disassembly 🤬 I'm going to do the best I can without complete disassembly and hope for the best 🤞

One of the implements of destruction is the RR hoof pick knife. Real handy for getting in those little nooks and crannies 🐴

It's a bad summer for having AC problems! Hope they all get resolved reasonably.
 
Some C.C. & B&O smoke today.

the COLD (AKA: "sub 70°F") WILL return much too soon. 🥺👎

One of my uncles use to say "Cold is better! You can always put on more clothes!
I pointed out that is incorrect. You will eventually reach the point where more clothes won't fit over what you have on.
When hot, you can always jump in the shower or bathtub, hold the garden hose over your head (after running the sun heated water out of the hose) or walk through the automatic car wash ... 😇👍

Love a 32 stockman pattern. For some reason, the 18s (the most popular?) just don't give me the fizz. 🤷‍♂️

I love RR's smooth white bone. I have a sowbelly stockman in those scales.
