Starting the workweek with a Walden Knife Co. survivor.
Some funny stuff goin' on here, all Spring we were getting rains on a regular basis and the storms seemed to fizzle out before they got to West Tenn. You come up and spend a week in Illinois and our last 3 or 4 forecasted rains did not materialize, but now it's raining in Tennessee? BigHomer the shaman!!!!
I used to live about 15 minutes from Dowagiac, have not been to the Heddon museum there but plan to go my next trip back that way. They apparently have quite a collection of old lures on display.FRJ wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2026 6:16 pmThank you, Ike. The Holley is kind of rough and tumble but they made such a neat old knife.
I love to carry them now and again.
Yes it is. It is a Heddon River Runt Spook Sinker from Dowagiac, Michigan.
With screws on the harness. 1933ish.
So glad you appreciate them.
Funny is right, it didn't rain in Effingham the whole week we were there and as we were loading the car to come home it started. bosses cousin in Newton said they got 4 inches.Waukonda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2026 7:45 pmSome funny stuff goin' on here, all Spring we were getting rains on a regular basis and the storms seemed to fizzle out before they got to West Tenn.

Man I love the Hawthornes. I think it's the high Saber grind that does it for me. However the $600 price range on the secondary market is just too rich for my blood.1967redrider wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2026 1:03 pm Nice duos, gents.
Back at the grindstone, totin' a Hawthorne Jack for Wharncliffe Wednesday.

I haven't been to a Sheetz, they are gradually moving this way. I think there are now 2 or 3 locations around Detroit, I'll have to stop in next time I am that way and tell 'em Knipper sent me!
How about Buc-ee's? This one was outside of Dayton, OH. When Herb and I went to the Shenandoah Valley Knife Collectors Club show in Harrisonburg, VA, I talked him into stopping at that Buc-ee's. It was lunchtime on Good Friday. I don’t think he was impressed.
