I have my 16ga double barrel that I hunted quail with as a boy. It is a Western brand which I think is a knock off from Remington. It was old when I got it in the early 60's. Don't think it is safe to fire as the stock has cracked. I tried to get the stock replaces but to expensive to mess with. So It is a conversation piece.

Not sure but I think Western was available through Western Auto and/or JC Penny.

Lots of things back then and now are made by a name-brand contractor for retailing by a franchise, etc.

Kirkland brand stuff at Costco, for example, is often made by a surprisingly well-established list of manufacturers. Lately they've been doing a REALLY nice blanco/silver tequila that is astoundingly good, in a 1.75 liter bottle, but haven't yet found the distiller, as it's a newer line, and their older one was done by a place out of France that alternated between runs of vodka and tequila... and it tasted like it. Not bad, but not exceptional, either.

Imagine shipping agave' across the Atlantic for distilling. I wonder if Columbus ever thought of or did that? I mean, I know there was the whole spice-shipping trade, but...

I have an antique Canadian-made Cooey .22 repeater, tube-fed, bolt-action, and Cooey was owned by a number of different rifle manufacturers, including the old-school Winchester company.

It has factory engravings on either side of the grip of the butt stock of a rabbit in grasses.

It was used as a 'stage gun' in Valdez for a theater/stage play by a fellow who wasn't a gun person, who apparently figured that the more energy was delivered through the trigger pull, the more effectively or loudly the thing would fire. In that case, using 22 lr blanks.

Anyway, he broke the metal trigger mechanism, but it was micro-welded back together by a gunsmith who used to reside in Wasilla back then, a couple years after the fact.

Still shoots. Has the same old cheapo Weaver scope and mount as on the antique Remington Model 33 single-shot .22. A bit more bluing, however, and marginally comparable accuracy.

My god. A lifetime supply.

My hash tumbler isn't officially in the wills/estate, but I've spoken in the forums here about my wife maybe raffling it off after my departure, for whatever price per ticket.

Edit: Come to think of it, none of my weed or grow equipment is, either. Hmmm. I'd hate to see the whole shebang challenged for lack of inclusiveness.

How about this one

Yep, cancer is often associated with weight loss, eventually.

I have a ridiculous amount of old tabletop ronson lighters along with some old zippos.

Some of those might be worth some $$.

Should we look for you on the Antiques Road Show?

Each day there's a lack of a static point of reference on the puppy's size, as the changes occur regularly, but are sometimes subtle enough (other than when picking her up) to note the specific changes.

So, each day, somewhat tongue in cheek, I ask my wife numerous times, "Is she bigger?" Something I think I've done with every puppy, and maybe a baby or 2, nearly every time. It's become somewhat an inside joke.

Now we've included our daughter in this maddeningly redundant interrogation, as she delivered the pup to us on January 11 via her truck, from Anchorage, our younger son's birthday, (when he was too busy to pick up the phone), as she hasn't seen her since the delivery date, after which I know she's gained close to 7 lbs. or more (the puppy, not our daughter) (amazing what good chow on a consistent basis will do for a dog's potential, eh?)

So now ya'll can have the glory and prestige of being included in this daily question of parenting insecurity.

Is she bigger?

I'm still hunting that person who invented the term, 'Golden years' so I can kick their ass or poison their well..

Edit: depending on how big they are.
