My Christmas Present, Thanks LT

Post by PA Knives »

Now that the world knows I am truly crazy, I will now show you why. Not only did LT sell me this GREAT Tidioute Display, but he included without my knowledge a gorgeous YORK Cutlery, York PA display as well. How great is that. Just needed brag one more time

Hello I have been a bit under the weather. However I did not want to seem rude by not responding. I am glad you are satisfied with the displays. While I do not usually discuss my ethnic backround preferring to be considered as an American versus an american with a prefix, in this situation I would make an exception and mention that my Great grandmother on my fathers side was a full blood cherokee one of the beliefs I was taught was that all things are alive and not only people but the land and all in it have souls . If so these artifacts are now happy and at rest from there long journey since they have found the home in which there story shall continue. The caretaker who continues to preserve these items, conserves them and these beliefs also shares this legacy. I personally know that there is a lot of truth in this philosophy. May you use, enjoy prosper and enjoy these artifacts in good health for as long as you decide you wish to do so. Once again I am truly glad that they arrived in satifactory condition and that you are satisfied. LT PS I have to go take some medicine now. In fact perhapes a double is in order.

OK, I thought I better let the world see my greatest treasure, althought the Tidioute Display is a close second.

Beautiful lines, they just don't make them like this any more. From Pennsylvania of course. :P
