Birthday present from Miz Linnea. She stuck a little gambling money in him because, "you can't give a bank with nothing in it."

That is an awesome piggy bank! And it's about the safest place to keep your money nowadays too!

Ain't no thing Joe. There's no way you could have known.

Thanks for it now.

Another belated Birthday greeting. I have no doubt the world is a better place with your presence. Congratulations.

Hey Big Boy, you disappointed me ! I thought your birthday was 10 November. Happy belated birthday, Marine!

Thanks Garry. Thanks Phil.


Phil -- Funny you should say that. My best friend from the Corps, a guy I was stationed with for the last 2-1/2 years of my enlistment and am still very good friends with to this day, was born on 10 Nov 1943.

.................happy belated birthday, jerry!!, if I had known sooner, I could have sent you something!!, maybe a Camillus!!!.............. ..............can't keep up with all you "younger" guys b'days!!!...............................

Thanks for the thought Tommy. I'll be in your decade next year if I make it that far.

Birthday? Hope you had a great one!

Anyway, here's a little nailfile, about 6" long. Looks like the inlay came out...

I pulled this shaving stuff out to take a pic.

A Pike StropHone and a Valet razor.




And 3 straight razors...

Nice stuff, Glenn.

Out and about today and stopped by my local brick & mortor knife store, Tom's Cutlery. Thought y'all might be interested in seeing some of his stock. I apologize for the quality of the pictures but all I had with me was my phone.

Jerry,
Quite a sight ! There ain't that many knives in all of northwest Florida! Maybe in P.Cola or Tallahassee, but we're lucky if the hardware store has a full display cabinet of Case knives. I'd have to leave my wallet in the truck !

awesome jerry. ...........nothin like that here

Onlu place I ever came CLOSE to seeing anything like that was at SMKW! If there was anything around here even close I'd be in trouble!

..........wow, jerry, if there was a place like that in tupelo, I would be in trouble!!!!......... ......

He has 11 show cases, a couple of bookcase units and a couple of racks stuffed into what was once a bedroom in a house. He has a few more knives in knife rolls shoved in a couple of drawers. Tom's health isn't very good these days so I'd bet you could buy him out but you're not going to get it for ten cents on the dollar. He's a tough old bird.

Mike, you probably saw him at the show in Janesville. He had several tables. He has a goatee and wears a beat up old cowboy hat.

Not sure if anyone around here likes miniatures but I do. Here are a few that I have made over the years.
