    Trolling through a Goodwill and found this terrific mahogany silverware 'canteen'. For $10, how can you lose? No silverware but I'll have no problem filling it up!

    What Are You Reading

    Was that written by Victor Gischler?...I know he has written some of the Punisher comics. I'm a huge fan of his books...Pistol Poets, Gun Monkeys, etc...especially Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'll admit I'm a cat guy, but how can you not gush over puppies! Great puppies (and a great cap, as well).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks...I've started taking a real liking for this hat. It's the only beaver I have and the felt is wonderful. The brim is 1 7/8"....stingy but not miserly!

    What Are You Reading

    Non-fiction: The Civil War of 1812 by Alan Taylor...a really interesting (so far) interpretation of the War of 1812. Fiction: Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: the Dead Town. Gotta find out what happens with Victor and his creations.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wow, that Whippet of Aureliano's makes my '40's Whippet look like a distant, impoverished second cousin! And that fabric hat is really interesting...it's great to see cloth items of that vintage. And I have yet to find a cap as nice as that one, Big_e. It makes me hesitate to post my pics...

    Canadian Boss of the Plains No. 1 Quality -Boer Wars? WW II? more contemporary?

    You should visit sometime...Kansas isn't that far away! Actually, I think I have some distant relatives in Kansas. And you're quite right about the crowns. They change with the monarch, especially with the gender of the monarch. Since the British monarch is the titular Head of State of...

    Canadian Boss of the Plains No. 1 Quality -Boer Wars? WW II? more contemporary?

    My collecting was always in the area of medals and uniforms...I like the fact that these items are often named and can be researched. I have a couple of Alberta-related medal groups from the First World War. One is a group of three (standard WWI "trio") to a Lieutenant in the 10th Battalion...

    Hell on Wheels

    Pale complexion, big eyes....cadaverous. Could shape up to be a great character! The costume person who came up with that great high-necked black coat for The Swede is brilliant. The character is played by Christopher Heyerdahl who, ironically, is of partial Norwegian descent!

    Canadian Boss of the Plains No. 1 Quality -Boer Wars? WW II? more contemporary?

    Thanks...in all my years of collecting, I've only seen two Boer War slouch hats on the market: a South Africa Constabulary hat and this one. I missed the first one (a lot of Canadians served in the SAC). Boer War stuff is rarer than hens teeth up here.

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    Beautiful. The Celts had such a wonderful sense of design. Their objects always seem so graceful.
