They’re good dogs and the most common around here, we always had one. When dad sold the farm couple years back he gave away his last kelpie to another bloke.
Personally I was always partial to Australian Koolie’s for working dogs and recently nearly picked one up as a pet.

My brother has 9 hunting dogs, so I don’t think we’re too different!

Haha, new breed for me, I’ll check them out!
 
Still can't put this one down, always in my pocket. This is an old knife I know but I wish I could find more info. It's a Hibbard Spencer and Bartlett OVB 2030 jack knife, 3 3/8" long. Great walk and talk, both pulls are a 7. The bone is just mesmerizing. I wish I could view the history of this knife the stories of previous owners, but since it's still new looking it could have been sitting around in a drawer, who knows. Love it though and I'm glad it found it's way to me.

Not the same 23. But still a 23.

Busy week. Glad to hit the weekend finally. Yesterday on my way back from PA I hit an antique store and while none of the knifes were appealing, I picked up this 1922 Elgin for a very fair price that is running keeping time.

Have a great Saturday friends.

When they shut their doors, it was a huge blow to Elgin, Illinois.
Kind of like Camillus and Schrade, I suppose. A lot of highly skilled and highly specialized watchmakers and cutlers suddenly out of work.
