[jerryd6818]

Jeez, Keith. I wouldn't lie to you about something as serious as that.

[espn77]

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the "Keith" model.

LMAO. Jerryd what's up with the new jello icon? Thought you was a new guy???

There's always room for Jell-o!

Just look. The store shelves are overflowing with the stuff!

Didn't you notice? It has my name on the box. (I think they call that whimsical) Bought it off the shelf that way. Thought I would have a little fun with it during the holiday season.

So is that Jello Jerry on the box or is that cherry Jello just for Jerry?

It's just for Jerry, but he's only allowed to eat it while wearing the flower hat from the picture.

From American Pickers - The collagen in Jello comes from boiling the bones and hides of animals processed for their meat (usually cows and pigs). I'll pass thank-you!

"It is found in most gummy candy, as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin desserts, and some ice creams, dips, and yogurts." (Wiki)
It's everywhere! It's everywhere!

I have a follow up for that but it's not appropriate.

Well this bomber has a name and it's that rascal Scott. He posted this no name Jack as one of his pick ups and I inquired about it since the Jack knives are one of my favorite patterns. He says, "It's yours" and I got it in yesterday's mail. I really like this mysterious feller a LOT. Black synthetic handles from the '40s - '50s - '60s, the good kind that doesn't shrink. Full blades that have great snap and no wobble but have no markings of any kind, anywhere.

THANK YOU SCOTT.

Possible identifying marks:
Anyone recognize the jigging?
Visible bolster pin on the top end but not on the cap end.
Rocker pin isn't visible.
Three handle pins but one is in an odd location.

Following Scotts trademark of going the extra mile there were several pads of Post-It notes and a small China made figural in the shape of a hand grenade. Cool.

Jerry, pretty sure it is a Kingston. Here is one I have. Also has not tang stamp but is etched Kingston over USA on the blade.

That looks like a winner, Dan.

[jerryd6818]

Exactly the same knife (except yours is in much better condition). Thank you Dan. I really appreciate you solving the mystery.

KAW posted that Kingston brand was only used from 1941-1958.

[danno50]

You are welcome, Jerry, glad to help, when I can.

I went out for dinner with TrippleF (Scott) last night and I got bombed ! Thanks Scott for this beautiful gift.

[Quick Steel]

Congratulations to the both of you on giving and receiving such a beautiful knife.. That bomb certainly qualifies as a MOB; Mother of all Barlows.

[QTCut5]

Dang, Scott is a real, honest-to-goodness, old-school romantic. First he takes you out to dinner and then drops this bomb on you? Geez, that's more than I did when I proposed to my wife. I guess I shoulda married Scott instead!

Beautiful knife...what a great gift (both to give as well as to receive). Congratulations to the happy couple (Phil and his new knife).

I ummmm didn't know where that was going for a moment...

I wonder if Mr. Scott has a single sister

Yup! That's a beauty!

[bighomer]

Good on you fellers

[jerryd6818]

Much respect Scott. Very much.

[TripleF]

Thanks fellas....thanks! It wasn't all me though......

And I received this little package yesterday from Ray (Paladin). Thank you very much Ray!
I'll give one to my brother in-law and we'll enjoy!!

LA was bombed twice today!
Our son-in-law sent Miss Joy some unexpected spatulas as replacement for the ones he had broken during Thanksgiving.
Joy showed me a strange looking black package that was in the mail box along with her spatulas.
We recognized the name of the sender, so carefully, with my RR trapper's spay blade, I slit the package open. It contained a business card with the following written on the back , "Semper Fi, Phil! Happy belated Marine Corps Birthday! Dale". On the face of the business card was our friend Dale's ORVET CUSTOMS information. The card was attached to a knife box that contained a knife that is slightly smaller than my Camillus pilot survival knife but similar. A kind gesture, much appreciated. Even greater than this is a customized Kershaw he sent me when I had my left knee replaced.
There are some wonderful people here on the AAPK forum and Bro. Dale Vincent is one of the front runners in my opinion!
Semper Fi, my friend!
