All About Pocket Knives

I picked up these 2 at an antique show in, sorry Fran, Allentown yesterday. The Eloi coin knife will be going on the block but the other is a different story.

I was at the show by chance after seeing our Daughter and grandkids friday night so instead of driving all the way home from Reading we decided to stay the night in Allentown and low and behold the next day we found out there was a small antique show. The coin knife I noticed in the first booth. The Western States was hidden under some small boxes and I would have missed it but when I asked to see a pearl handled knife the lady knocked the boxes aside and I noticed the celluloid on the Western States.

It's the first Western States I have ever owned and it is really a well made knife.

The Western is a great looking knife...good find there!

I don't like that place Mike, it's a dump, so I never go to shows there. I'm glad you had some success.

I was free for breakfast though !

The place where I find the 1930's unused IXL's for $2, full bladed ShurSnaps for $20, and the '50's boxed Queen winterbottom steak knives for $20, was 5 minutes from where you were.

SO THERE !

Fran

You tell em FRAN !!


Nice finds on both Mike.

Really though, you shoulda bought the old guy some breakfast.

Phil

hmmmmm....breakfast!

Buy Fran breakfast!!!! Have you ever seen how much he eats???

Ain't we got fun !

I'll send a free pocket knife to the first one who comes closest to solving all the elements of this equation by noon Eastern time on Fri. Feb. 13.

do + rtrmt = 205 - 165 / 3y

Okay, a knife is up for grabs, I'll give er a go!

do + retirement = 205-165/ 3 years

Jody and AKC are HOT. Both on the right track.

You two guys should put your heads together.

Fran

door to retirement = $40 month for 3 years

days of retirement = 40 hours a week for the past 3 years

days off in retirement only 40 in 3 years

Dale,

Perhaps you would prefer the rat poop!

Fran,

You've gained 40lbs in 3 years, dining out, since you've retired. Maybe you should start walkin' to those knife shows

Mathematically put:

dining out + retirement = 205(current weight) - 165(weight of 3 years ago); difference of 40 lbs weight gain in 3 years retirement time.

... and please don't lynch me if I'm wrong Fran (I never was one fer math)

Retirement = 40 days off over three years.

Here is my shot

615 working days left - 315 days off (Weekends and holidays)until retirement...Ha Worth a try....

We have a winner !!

'Ol Don.... boy he knows more than jes makin' sawdust.
