  1. Thanks PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, for the information on the different items, and the love for the items you commented on that I have posted. I always appreciate any information I can get on my "picks"...
  2. You are absolutely right! Here at my place of work, we have been downsizing people, but not the work. So when someone leaves, someone else in the department gets their job.....added to what we were al...

  10. Thanks collectit for the love! Thrifty
  11. Actually, your lettering on the bottom is "PASCO". The number 8 usually signifies the size of the pot. There is a Pasco, Washington state, which is probably where this came from. I collect some cast i...
  12. Very nice little knife. Definitely old, and I really loved your connection to it! Alot of my items are things I got from family, or that reminded me of them. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Collecto...

  21. Awesome car pickrknows! The Chevelle was always my favorite automobile. I had a 69 Malibu with a 396 in it when I was younger. I have wished many times that I had kept it, but for some reason it seeme...

  34. She kind of reminds me of "Chucky",lol, maybe it is his little sister. Definitely a family resemblance! TG
  35. Hey gargoylecollector, I can remember when I was a school guard crossing in the 5th grade. That had to be sometime in the 60's, in Jacksonville, Florida. I wore an orange vest and had that same badge....
  36. This is a great item, and you had some excellent information to go with it. I really enjoyed the back ground story. Look forward to future post's and I plan on looking at your other items also. Have a...
  37. Sounds like a plan... keep in touch! TG P.S. Phatbuddha, I did not mean to hijack your posting! TG
  38. That sounds real interesting..... you will have to give me the name of it. I don't think I am familiar with it, TG
  39. Good morning AR8Jason, I think that the Antique Roadshow is probably a better site for information or pricing. Ebay has a tendency to "exagerate" pricing sometimes from the sellers. Some people go on ...
  40. Good morning (here!) Phatbudda, That is a very cool item you have. I think it is from the 20's,30's time frame. If you go to ebay and type in "Vintage Cast Iron Michellin Man", you will see several d...

  45. Good Morning Phatbuddha, Another great find. That is definitely a Ford Mustang emblem on your buckle. I am not too sure about the age, but the 70's sound about right. I am thinking that leather buckl...
  46. You are very welcome! I went thru your past postings and they are all beuatiful and stunning! I can tell you have spent many years finding these "jewels" in your collection. I know where to go to now ...
