Well I was, but am sure not anymore!

Not that what I sent Meridian Mike was anything special either.

The big single blade on the left, is that a dog groomer?
That little Waltham split spring whittler cleaned up pretty well. Bone handles and good snap on all blades.
The bare head pearl handle has a sheet of handle missing on the pile side. One from the mark side was floating but some Gorilla Glue re-attached it.
The Barlow has no snap on the main blade. Something for next years POS Roundtable??
The straight razors could be sharpened and used by someone who knows what he's doing. Maybe I'll send them to Owd Wullie. ::shrug::
Glad they got there ok and you are ok with them!! The Champlin razor was in my collection for years.

Well, I was sitting happily at my desk doing my work when SUDDENLY....

I began to smell a dreadful odor... The secretary came into my office and said, "The mail delivery van wheeled through the parking lot and pitched this envelope out.... I has your name on it so you are going to have to do something with it."

Whewwww..... what a smell!
Then I realized it had to be a big steaming POS..... AND... It was a few days old. NOT FRESH!!

I reluctantly opened it.... and sure 'nuff.....
A POS....

Hey! The brown pos is a Richards, I think!
So, I got a text from the guy downstairs. It’s there. First time I’ve wanted to just stay at work.
He has it barricades behind his impressive pile of used pizza boxes. Something about the smells cancelling each other out...
I’m scared. ::paranoid::

A cold, raw, rainy day in Grand Prairie served as an omen of things to come (or should that be an Oh Man....). When I saw that my POS was coming from a feller who had Reverand for his tag I thought I might be safe. I should not have thought. Well it came, wrapped in toilet paper and neatly organized from best (???) to worse ( ::nod:: ). See for yourself but first: Some scenes to follow may be upsetting to those watching. Viewer disgression is advised.

At least the toilet paper should prove useful.

That single blade looks like what we used to use to scrape the bott fly eggs off of the horses’ legs.

There's a pile sitting on my desk from the Q-man, and I'm a-scared to dig into it. :shock: :mrgreen:

I'll bring my pickaxe and pliers tomorrow and start going through it. In the meanwhile, the president's day holiday and subsequent 16 hour work day have me all sideways and I completely forgot to bring my package for Jon to work so I could mail it out. First thing I'm doing when I get home is to grab it and put it in the car (RIP my upholstery), then I'll get it labelled and shipped tomorrow. Apologies for the delay, Jon, though I think when you get it your nose will thank me for holding off as long as I did. :lol:

I got a pleasant surprise and a reprieve! The package was three little Richards, all bubble wrapped and cosy and not from Peanut!
I’m still waiting for that one! :shock: ::paranoid:: :lol:

Somebody, (who shall remain nameless because I haven’t asked him about it) did me a kindness with the Richards, one of which is a bit rough but probably my oldest to date. Yay! I love ‘em!

Now I wait...I hope the mail carrier is ok...

The mail was late today. I went and checked while I had some nasty oily hands hoping the hydraulic oil might protect me from the dregs that were coming all the way from California.:( No mail, so I went to the parts house and had them make up a new hydraulic line, by chance the mail came while I was gone. All the weeds around the mail box had wilted like some one had sprayed them with 24d or diesel fuel. ::skeptic:: Got 2 magazines today, the American Rifleman and also the American Hunter, both covers had already faded! Miss Joy asked, "Why haven't you opened the box from your nice friend?" I told her I needed to go ahead and replace the hydraulic line on the tractor first because if something happened to me at least the loader would be working. Finally I got up my nerve and opened one end of the box from rexstubbins. Out poured a big pile! 14 wonderful P'sOS. As the fumes dissipated I closed the distance and started to, as Jerryd sez, coon finger the pile. I thought, "This is truly an eclectic POS!"

In the picture below, from left to right, I'm pleased to present a Chinese Lockback, truly a POS.
Next is a wanna' be SAK, at least it is a USA made Colonial.
The next is a brand new Winchester stockman, from China, it'll be good for a youngster.
Next in the line up is a black painted thing from Japan, strangest back spring I've ever seen, it even has a bit of snap.
One of the real prizes is an Imperial stockman with custom, hand made, maybe even poured handles, kinda' translucent butterscotch color, very suitable color for a POS!
There is hope for the next 2, a black handled Robeson, missing its' shield and several handle pins on the same side are sheared.
The other hopeful is a Boker Barlow with steel bolsters, I can almost see the Tree Brand logo through the rust.
Then there is the small Kent next to an Imperial shell handled prize, you'll note these are lying on a JB Weld package along with a tiny little EZ open complete with half stops, both tiny blades walk and talk.
Then you'll observe a nice little 3 bladed, stainless stockman, proudly imported from Japan, that is stuck big time to the JB Weld paper with of course, a big wad of JB Weld. ::shrug::
Then the culprit, I have no idea what it is other than it is outgassing big time.
Doug also included a wonderful gold handled straight razor and another tiny little Gerber 4 bladed blue lookin' thing!
What a wonderful PileOS to play with on a rainy day!
Thanks Doug. ::tu::
Y'all be careful when you double click the picture, some of that mess might try to jump on you!

Yep Treefarmer, that’s a lovely mess of...mess! ::barf::
I kinda like the Winchester. Pos or not, I’m going to get something with that sort of scales. I just like ‘em. The son’s girlfriend got a large one for work from $5 Knife Guy and I regret not beating her too it!

Ann,I can`t tell where your package is from tracking.I know at times they get stuck in the customs quagmire.I have sent stuff to Canada that took 6 or 7 days and times a few weeks.

Yesterday was a miserable day here weather-wise. Foggy with light misty rain all day, and the temperature never got above 35 degrees. So when I stopped at the mailbox yesterday evening I was in a hurry, rolled down the truck window, opened the mailbox door, grabbed the contents quickly and rolled up the window. I was thinking maybe the POS package from DM11 might be there but I didn’t see anything.

This morning the rain and fog was gone. I was out and about early, and looked toward the mailbox (which is about 1/2 mile from the house). There I saw a startling sight. At least 20 or 30 vultures roosting in a tree by the mailbox!

So I went to see what had died. I didn’t see anything dead, but I could smell something. The smell seemed to be coming from the direction of the mailbox. I opened the door and there it was, a box, pushed all the way to the back of the mailbox. Apparently it was there yesterday and in my haste I didn’t see it.

After retrieving it I opened the box. Sure enough it was the POS from David (DM11). Along with a note saying (gulp), enjoy! ::sneaky::
7B79CCCA-2F13-44C5-B14D-21288C04355F.jpeg
I carefully opened the baggie and to my surprise, it wasn’t that bad! Bad, but not THAT bad. First was a little Camillus Barlow (with one lazy blade). Then a little two blade Remington jack (one blade lazy, the other broken), a Camillus 72 ::ds:: (it needs a good cleaning but it’s intact and all functions properly), a Schrade 881 (similar condition to the Camillus 72), and a near mint Ulster 98 stockman (no sign it’s ever been carried)!

So I guess all those buzzards were just tired. ::shrug::

Thanks David!

Mumbleypeg, I like your buzzard pic. The cows don't seem to be worried about them. As concerning your POS, somethings go from bad to worse, yours seems to have gone from bad to better. I bet none of those will be seen in next years bag. Congratulations on a POS that shows what it could of been but in the end there is redemption. ::tu::
