  3. Thanks to all for the love! Lumpy, hate that generic designation. Lol. May I ask where that came from? My Cincinnati sources estimate value over twice your quoted price.

  18. Snow sucks! I'm with ya bro! Supposed to hit here today. You just didn't get out in time!
  19. Looks like something a pirate would carry in his boot! Where's your cutlass?!
  20. Numbers on sides keep score and the painted numbers at the bottom are for periods. Oops, I mean quarters! Holes are for lamps. Michele totally on board. Her idea to start with!

  23. Thanks a lot scottvez! Thought it was something along those lines as I used one of the large "safety pins" to close my mesh laundry bag in the Marine Corps. Sure it's not a valuable item but made m...
  24. WOW lzenglish! Thank you very much for those sentiments! I was in Beirut in 1982 and while I didn't lose any friends there in '83, I lost 241 brothers. I am currently making plans to go to Philly f...

  29. Nice Chuck- a luck BV! Are there any identifiers anywhere on the piece?
  30. mikeigotit, The majority of the marbles in your photos are what us marble collectors would call modern marbles, made from the '50s through the '70s with some even being very modern imports. The Benni...

  35. Nice piece! Lebanon was fun wasn't it?...

  40. Well, I'm pretty stumped on the hammer/axe looking "thang" but doesn't seem like a stone working tool to me. Since you mentioned bourbon I think the first tool is for making bung holes in bourbon b...

  45. Onedtent... definitely not an inclinometer. THX for the input.
  46. SpiritBear... I think not but obviously could be mistaken. BB2 & GeodeJim... Needle points north when item is held horizontal, compass in my book. UncleRon... Needle points north, knurled knob on ...
  47. PP, Thanks for the love. They are clay. Gambling was shut down in Newport by the time cheap plastic chips hit the scene.
