All About Pocket Knives

Those looks great Ken . I too love me some ole tools, some day i'll get around to picture taking my small (but slowly growing) collection of hand tools, and pop bottles.
Good stuff!

Old school shaving.
What you see is what I use.
Some of the razors are from the 40s and 50s a few from the 60s.
The Gem single edge, far right, 3rd from the bottom may be over 100 years old. Gives a great shave. Not shown, I have 7 straight razors. I use those on Saturdays when I can take my time and concentrate on what I'm doing.

You da man Steve! I would end up with cuts all over my face. I do use a shaving brush to spread my shaving cream on with and I remember having one of those Old Spice mugs I see in one of your pic's. Great Collection!

Travel/road maps and tourist guides/brochures. I didn't and I don't collect these, I "inherited" them. They range from VERY old in age to a little more "recently."

Those are pretty cool looking Skip! Plan your next trip yet?

Cool!
I remember we used to get a new Rand McNally road atlas every couple of years.
Never considered keeping them. Growing up military and doing a lot of moving meant doing a lot of packing.
There were just some things that were deemed unnecessary.

My first car, a '67 LeMans, sparked my love for the GTO.

VERY nice collection of shaving paraphernalia! I don't see a shaving cream warmer/dispenser. I have never used a shaving cream brush, but I do have one (pictured below). I sold all of my father's and grandfather's safety and straight razors. I also sold all the boxes of the blades.

I posted some old and some VERY old ads regarding shaving. Click on this link: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=65706&start=30#p797095
They are on pages 3 & 4. There will be more posted as I find them.

VERY nice collection of GTOs. I collected Matchbox cars and had about 75 of them, but I never concentrated on any one particular model. Last summer I sold all of them.

WOW!!! Beautiful collection Steve!

As I said before, I'm also a GTO fan of many years. If I ever win big in the lottery, I'll have one!
Along with an oldtimer pickup truck, 4-wheeler, boat and a few other things Red Neck Dreams are made of.
Untill then, Thanks for sharing those cool pictures with us!

Add: And a killer knife collection!

My second Case XX Zippo is here. Thanks for looking!

I like old fishing gear.

Cool fishing gear Joe! That's a very interesting hobby!

Case made some fishing knives that came in tins with fishing lures that I'd like to have for my case collection some day.
Or at least a couple of the lures that say case on them because I like how they look.

Thanks Tom.
I have two Case fishing knives.
I didn't know about the Case/fishing lure connection. Those would be great to have.

For you license plate collectors. I found this while I was looking for something else. It's a list of the license plate color combinations for the year 1932. There were only 48 states at the time, so no Alaska or Hawaii plates.

Old film cameras can be a lot of fun, especially when they work.
These use 120 film.

Thank you Skip..

Looks Good Joe!!

Wow, Joe, that thing looks brand new. I looked at the name and found a small amount of info. Based on what I read, it's gotta be prewar, right?

I failed to comment on your earlier post and pictures of fishing gear. Interesting things, in great condition and beautifully photographed

Thanks guys.

Ike, the first camera is a Welta Weltax. 1938-1947ish. Highly thought of camera. It as an accessory (a mask) that allows you to shoot slightly smaller images for more pictures per roll. Ordinarily it shoots a 6x6 cm negative; with the mask you can shoot a 6x4.5 cm neg.

The other folding camera is a Zeiss Icon Super Ikonta. 1937-1955. 6x6 only.
I have not shot a whole roll of film through these cameras yet and I am waiting in the mask for the Weltax from Germany.
I am really enjoying the change in photography and learning along the way.
Although I shot film for years before the digital cameras became available. I'm a little rusty.
Thank you very much, Ike.

Nice camera's Joe
Let us know when you post knife pictures from your film cameras.
How close to your subject can you get?

I still have my old Olympus 35MM OM 2 from the late 70s.

Thank you, Dan.
I can't get very close with these cameras. 3.5 ft. I hope I can show some results from this effort but it may take a while.

You have a very nice camera and accessories there. Do you still use your Olympus?

I have not used the Olympus for years, however I let a friend borrow it a couple months ago. She participated in a photography course that required "Black and White" pictures. She did very well in the course and when she returned the camera to me she included a couple rolls of new film.
I"m also a little rusty on my older technology. I'll see where it takes me.

Dan

Terrific.
So there is a dear friend in each of you. You're both very kind and this how things take off.

I was reintroduced to the "Sunny 16 Rule". Check it out.
I felt like it gave me a boost.

I hope you shoot some film.

Speaking of cameras, here's something most people don't know about me....
I have a photographic memory.




Problem is they stopped selling my film about 30 years ago.
