    I agree with Mr Finch (As usual) and Mike in Seattle To support what others have said, these appear to be an assortment of .22 cal. rimfire "bullets" which have very little value. Postal regulations prohibit shipping of ammunition, I think, and the others require ground tranportation only...

    The word, "Posh".

    Surely it was SOPH Surely it was SOPH for those folks traveling from say NYC to the homelands. I guess SOPH just didn't sound like anything if spoken. POSH, whatever it actually stood for, trips over the Red Sea or the North Atlantic, the term really caught on. As an aside, the gentleman who...

    The word, "Posh".

    Old folks in the states claimed that POSH was Old folks in the states, people I knew 30 years ago and who used to travel on steamers, told me that POSH was indeed Port Out and Starboard Home but that it referred to the heyday of Brits traveling to the states in the cold waters of the North Sea...

    Mr. Green Hats

    Had to ditch the band? Sir: I'm curious about your having to ditch the band the hat came with as that looks to me to be the best feature of the hat. Apparently, in person, that is not the case.

    Vintage Knox straw (?) hat - 7-1/8

    The hat arrived, thanks for the quick ship. I really like it. It's a bit darker gray than I imagined and the pug which was on it doesn't yet seem to match any combination of clothing I have at home. I switched out the pug and wore the hat today. You may be right about it being some synthetic...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Rayban Outdoorsman and Outdoorsman II These appear to be knockoffs of the Rayban Outdoorsman. I've been wearing these since the Vietman war. However, the Rayban's come only in a metal frame, gold, chrome-like (Think "Dugout Doug" MacArthur), or black. I think the Outdoorsman has lens of...

    Favorite Summer Drink

    Holy moly Mr Fish, that sounds good Decent peaches are finally making their way up into North Carolina. This reads like something to do them justice. Are you peeling the peach or does the puree button make that a non-issue?

    Going to an Irish Bar

    Black & Tan Mr. Edward, the Black & Tan may well be an invention of the "Colonies" for all I know. I cannot claim to know all the versions of the drink, if there are any, but in bars in the states the Black & Tan is about 1/2 Bass and 1/2 Guinnie. Owing to it's gravity, the Guinnie is poured...

    Going to an Irish Bar

    Redbreast is most excellent Redbreast is one I like a lot. The good news for those of us in NC is that it's carried as a stock item in many ABC stores these days. Bad news is the $$$. I like Black Bush and the Bush 10 Year Malt. In my save for a special day stash I have bottles of the...

    Sold - J Peterman Pigment Dyed Suit -Sz. 44

    Chest measurement? Mr HJ, I have no experiece with Peterman sizes so I'm wondering if I could fit into the jacket of this suit. I'm a bit over 44 but still fit into most any Orvis 44 and most Lauren 44's but not into Lauren size large as it's closer to a 42 in my experience. The Orvis 44's...
