    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I pretty much do the same as Chris Macmillan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhaxHYb46E I was on a panel with Phil Greene at Tales, and he demonstrated the glass toss while wearing tyvek coveralls. (He had a jacket coated in Herbsaint one year making so many Sazeracs.) I've seen the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Too many bars in NOLA go overboard with simple syrup in their Sazeracs, I use a Saint Louis Sucre cube in mine, with a bit of water. I picked up the glass way back before the collectors started getting stupid with bidding on Sazerac bar items. Watch eBay, way too many people over pay for...

    World War 2 smoke?

    I have two vintage packs of Perique tobacco New Orleans Picayunes, and a pack of vintage Fatima's, but I don't smoke. They look too nice to just burn up.

    Cruising speed

    With absinthe, that can vary between two to three glasses or more, depending on whether it commercial, or non-commercial absinthe. One tends to feel more clear headed drinking absinthe from past experience.

    What's a good old antenna

    That one I believe should have a Wavemagnet, my Zenith console is a year or two later, and has the boxed Wavemagnet, they work pretty well. I have a long wire for my earlier Zenith tombstone, and it pulls in like gangbusters. Both of mine have been recapped and gone through.

    What's a good old antenna

    Wavemagnet™ My old Zenith console still has the Wavemagnet intact and works quite well. Love those old black dial Zeniths.

    Smoking old cigarettes and other kinds of tobacco products

    I have a couple of packs of these old timers, but you'd have to point a gun at me to light them up, and I'd still probably take the bullet.

    There are a few states that it is legal to own a switchblade, the Federal law mainly applies to importation and interstate sales. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade#United_States A better resource: http://www.knifelawsonline.com/knifehome/ Disclaimer: As with any thing fun...

    The Rizzuto is from the 1960s-1970s. It's a copy of a 50s Italian swing guard, that was made in Japan, for many my age it was the first switchblade you could find easily. (I went though several in my mis spent youth)

    Google "Trapdoor OTF" switchblade, 90% of the rest of OTF's are junk. You need to find the book , Switchblades of Italy. All of your questions will be answered. Visit Latama.net

    Actually, stiletto refers to blade type, Otf, or out the front release, would be the proper term. The first knife pictured is most likely from the 50s, the classic picklock type switchblade, didn't appear here until Latama imported them around 1950. I have a few oldies, but my computers are...
