Thank you JP.🍻
Those ads you have are interesting. ::tu::
I love reading old ads.
Is the corner of the bottom ad missing or is it folded under?
I can't really tell.

Simmons and Simmons Hardware are my favorite collectibles).. hen's teeth, some of these knives are...

Thanks for posting those, Ryan! Several years ago there were some of the KK Horseman's knives that were up for sale by a Mid-West auction company. I can still kick myself for not getting one. They don't come around that often.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

You're welcome, John 👍.. I won't make that mistake again, either.. a few years ago at a local gun show a guy had several rare push button knives. I didn't have enough cash on me at the time and planned on going back the next day and never made it .. I should have ran to atm right then...🤬

You're welcome 🤝.. I was a little leery when mom started seeing her boyfriend, Tom, after dad passed away.. he quickly became part of the family and I'm very grateful for him to be in mom's life and ours.
