I got the most wonderful and unexpected bomb today! He’s free to own up, but I won’t say who until I ask. Let’s say Texans have everything big, especially their hearts! ::ds::
I opened them smallest to largest. Oh wow.
The German pen was first. That little beauty is going straight into my gentleman’s knives where it will fit very well. Likewise the gorgeous little Imperial. I recently got a very similar one in yellow. A lovely pair!
A Richards Mountie, and one I didn’t have! Yay!
Thé Challenger is a great piece of history. I must get some proper polish fit it and the guard on my Bangkung.
Zorro! Way cool! The Spanish Robin Hood. My plastic ‘50s Zorro uke nearly leapt off the wall when I unwrapped it. :wink:
I have loved the look of toothpicks since I first saw one, but my little black widow has been the only example I owned. I also really like wood and brass. Double whammy!
As I was opening the packages, I was thinking, ’’ couldn’t possibly be a bone handled three blade in there. That would be too much.’’
Unbelievable. And it’s a Camillus with just enough pocket smooth to make it totally delicious! I actually said something unladylike! Several somethings!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! ::not_worthy::

A Camillus 72. You lucky girl. No accumulation is complete without one. You now own one of the finest knives in the world. ::super_happy:: ::tu:: ::ds::

Edit: P.S. that little Imperial jack is another fine acquisition. ::tu::

Funny thing - when my IXL saw what was coming in, it just slithered out of my jeans without being asked and quietly took up residence in my jacket. ::not_worthy::

This unusual bomb appeared anonymously the other day. Not exactly sure what they would be used for, but it's a cool little set of glass apothecary vials and a small light bulb.

Q, what did you do to deserve such an interesting bomb?
I agree with you, Floyd, unusual items. I've never seen any of those bottles in my rootin' around. Would love to know about them! ::hmm::

I don't know where to start on this...this new arrival required it's own "special photo". Being a relatively recent convert to the Camillus 72 pattern...I saw this Schatt and Morgan whittler on "the bay". I ended of winning it. It is my one and only S&M. As I was checking out, through Paypal, up popped Ivoryman, in the payment information. Seeing the knife was coming from Seattle...I "put 2 & 2 together" and PM'd to find out, yes this was our own AAPK Ivoryman. I had no idea it was one of his knives; however, it makes it that much more special...knowing it came from a "stable" of amazing knives. The knife is one of those that truly looks better in hand, than the pictures revealed. But what really took it "over the top" was Ivoryman's bomb...a personally carved walrus tooth, not normally included in his packages. I'm honored to have these two pieces as highlights in my meager collection. Thanks SOOOO much Ivoryman...these are special!!!

I didn’t post this bomb since it’s not a knife, but since that lovely collection of bottles is up, here goes.
This came in just over a week ago. I shan’t post the bombers name as I didn’t ask if I could, but her name is Alabama Belle!
What a wonderful instrument. She’s already been the star of uke club and we are off to the open mic today to do a song with the boys.
I have no idea how old she actually is, but I’m going to guess perhaps 1920’s.

You're welcome, glad the knife and tooth went to an appreciative home. I must say that scale is fabulous. Looks like it still works even with all that cracking on the foot step. Sweet pully too. Great shot.

I’ve been mystery bombed!
It’s a beautiful little Richards corkscrew/bottle opener/blade.
As it happens, I recently picked one up, but what a difference! My swap meet find is scungy, with a slightly rusty corkscrew and a very worn blade. It’s also got a couple of suspicious spots. ::paranoid:: I bought it as a place-filler.
The bomb is in wonderful shape! I don’t think it’s been sharpened and the scales are nice and clean!
Yay! ::groove::
I only have a first initial and last name on the sender, along with the address. I done recognize it. I bet when I find out, I’ll be going ::facepalm::
I’ve kept most of my bomb packaging for the addresses but one got tossed so it might be him. Anyone want to ‘fess up?
Thanks! ::nod::
