No apologies required my friend. And yes......life is too short to remain too series all the time.

I appreciate a little (or a lot of) humor with my AAPK. A fella can't be serious all the time. It sours his disposition.

Here is what I found in my mailbox this morning.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
This morning, I retrieved these two knives from the post office. First up, my second one of these, is a 1915-1920, A. KASTOR & BROS - NEW YORK, bone handles, single blade, 1 tool, Coca Cola pocket knife with bottle opener/cap lifter. Goins says it's a wire cutter. It has two tang stamps. A KASTOR (over) & BROS (over) NEW YORK and on the other side, COCA COLA (over) BOTTLING CO. The graphics are still very legible. I cleaned up the blade, the tool and wiped off the handles. Next is a 1917-1925, ALLEN CUTLERY CO - NEWBURGH N.Y., 2 blade pocket knife. The stamp is in the middle of the handle. I cleaned the whole knife. Pictures were taken and here are the knives.

Linnea and I drove up to Janesville, WI for lunch and when I got home the Porch Pirates had not snatched this out of my mailbox. Made in Taiwan, I'm very pleased with it.

Thanks fellers. David, the Corps is special to me and so are the Marine Corps knives I have. I said it somewhere else but it bears repeating, a Marine would buy just about anything if it had the Eagle, Globe & Anchor on it.

Arrived unexpectedly in the mail on Thursday. Early Father’s Day gift from my son-in-law. He’s out of town for work and won’t be back in time to hoist a cold one with me tomorrow but wanted to make sure I knew he was thinking about me.

This morning I retrieved these two knives from the post office. A BOKER 1786, 3 blade stockman and a SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knife. Neither one needed any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.
