Quote HistoryQuoted: Trench art letter opener made by my Grandfather when he was with the 333rd Engineers in the AEF, 1918, in France. The body is a fired 8mm case, dated 1917, a cut bullet to hold the blade, another 8mm case hand hammered into the sword shape. I offered it to a museum 2018, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the war, and they said with no documentation, it's historically worthless. Feck 'em, I kept it https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/360589/20221013_151424_2_jpg-2561861.JPG I love me some legit trench art. Fuck the museum, I think it's bad ass! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Purchased from Portugal - it is similar in shape/size/appearance to other examples from the late 14th century. A number of these were found at a Portuguese battlefield from 1385 (for this one, however, I have no provenance linking it to that battlefield). The stock and bands, of course, are modern and modeled on an example in a Lisbon museum. Assuming that dating is correct, it's the earliest piece I own - the next earliest is probably the bottom cannon in this picture, putatively dated to around 1400 (the other is probably sometime generally 15th-16th century): https://i.imgur.com/0MN5mll.jpg Then this tiller cannon is probably around the mid-15th century: https://i.imgur.com/8HbpOhi.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Not sure about *no* other ARFCOMer, but I think only one other ARFCOMer has anything similar. @USMCSGT0331, IIRC. https://i.imgur.com/3BQagiO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VK0WZ3w.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zJ9oIJ5.jpg Holy cow thats amazing! whats the story/history on that?

 Attached FileA French shotgun shell advertisement done by some French artist named Jean Brian in 1950. The only other work I can find by the guy is the 1968 Olympic poster. I can find nothing about the ammunition manufacturer other than they existed in the town of Les Abrets, in the Rhône-Alpes area of France. I've only even seen one other copy on the internet. It has the hole for hanging it by a nail, and is actually kinda textured. ETA: I also have a signed letter from Tom Clancy. |

I'll have to see if I can find the Sporting Classics I have with an extensive article about shotgun shell box collecting. It's quite an active hobby, and early boxes like yours with a hunting connection and good graphics can be quite valuable. |

Here is my Dad’s old Mickey Mouse watch. It’s been in the box since he was a kid. He said he got it from an iron claw machine.
From what I can find out it’s from 1932-1934. Still have the box. I had it serviced and cleaned after he passed. Locked away in my safe for the grandkids.  Attached File |
