  1. It needs to go to a museum, they are very rare. The shaft has tortoise shell veneer.
  2. Round… the shaft is round. 1700’s sword cane.
  3. A “friend” and I decided to herd some cattle using BB guns…we were 9 years old. I learned a great lesson that day from the owner.
  4. I’ve got an old 12” sitting in the yard, will get a pic tomorrow. No netting
  5. Used to have BB gun fights in the 60’s, had to be below the chest, no crotch shots either.
  6. I thought this was a world-record AKRO cork at first, until I turned it around. 5/8”
  7. So, no buttermilk (w/frosting) wedding cake??? Rats.🐀🐀🐀
  8. I’ll just move it into the MK box every other week. Shared custody🤣
  9. Thanks Ric, can’t resist them. there was also this oxblood patch on a chocolate base. I don’t remember ever seeing a similar example.i
  10. I found the knobs at 2 different stores in Snohomish, WA. The razor came from Maltby Antiques, and the box came from TroyBeck antiques in Snohomish. TB is closing down at the end of the year, it will be a crazy sale.
  11. Thanks, Tommy. We haven’t been to the store where I found the marbles in 6+ years. We moved in 2017 to the Kitsap Peninsula. Cobweb antiques in Monroe, WA. They are downsizing after 50 years, lot of great buys.
  12. Todays score👍 Spent the day with my wife cruising antique stores! the box will hold ~150. I can’t resist an old inexpensive straight razor.
  13. Has there ever been a dig at the Vitro Anacortes plant? How about an address…
  14. It was most likely from Dani, years ago. I love dealing with her and Ernie, the salt of the earth.
  15. I admit serious jealousy for anyone who was blessed to dig the old plants. being in WA state, I was robbed of that opportunity😢😢😢
  16. I’ve got a similar example, will post tomorrow. I have no memory of where I got it from.
  17. Agreed. The cane does need to be rehomed with someone who can conserve it properly. I rescued it from a local antique store last Wednesday. Did some research and got it authenticated using pictures. as for the marble, no rehoming that beauty…❤️
