I was at an auction yesterday and they sold a "Case" fixed blade stamped 440 STAINLESS. It's the second one I've seen in the last year. It had the actual Case name/logo without the XX & no…Continue

Hog asked me about the auction & he suggested I post this in the forum. In general, I was disappointed. I though most of the knives were in pretty poor condition, nothing I'd buy to resale and…Continue

I retired (medically) a couple of years ago and I go to quite a few auctions & estate sales. My main interest is old sterling but with the rapid rise in silver over the last year, I'm looking…Continue

I have a couple of Monty Bess knives that I'd like to find out about and assuming it's the same Monty Bess (how many Monty Bess's in Buhl, ID?), I see he joined iKnife a while back but he doesn't…Continue

- About Me
- Boring is the best way to describe my life. Boring, however, can be good.
My father (died at 88 & a half) had a little farm in east Texas and didn't leave much for the last fifthteen years of his life. The catfish buffet in Nacogdoches on Friday night, the Woden 1st Baptist church on Sunday & once a month to Barksdale A.F.B for groceries and perhaps the doctor. He wouldn't even go to Houston so if his wife wanted to see her great-grandkids, she went by herself.
If you wanted to see him, you went to Woden. I'm starting to realize how smart my father was!
- Interests
- waking up each morning, poker, pickin' (long before the TV series), afternoon naps, fishing & just being lazy

I get to eBay once in a while, the temptation to buy is usually there and my wife would kill me if i went too nuts! You know you look hard enough and sure enough something shows up. Its like this posting in Forum about a Frary Knife, this guy found in his garden. Now assuming its valid this has to be a pewter knife maybe from late 1800, he said he's not selling but blade rusted off and he's considering putting a new blade in. The history behind that is what gets me going, pretty good stuff. BTW you got a good deal on the Boy Scout knife!

Larry that's a beautiful knife. Sorry we couldn't get somebody to meet up with you. I emailed that one guy John Swatsell who move from Houston to Denver but I read on FB that he had maybe 10 inches of snow? I don't know if I had that right or not but anyway he's a nice guy and we'll hook up with him eventually.
Anyway glad you went and could report on the results in fact now that I think of it would you post the results on your Forum post. We'll leave it for a few then close the discussion. Thank you Larry!

- I gotta get out to the shed, this week, and get my Exakta book.
I saw the Jimmy Stewart story when I was looking up my camera. For some reason, I've never even tried to look it up till I saw your Exa.
Still trying to find out exactly what the type of lens that I have is called. (Preset?, Automatic Preset?, IDK)
