Idea of how this thing killing a bear is quite funny.

You never know when a bear might show up in your living room to rob you! So it´s good to have something heave like that at hand.

Do not feed the bears.

Had a couple of nice picks in the last 2 weeks. A set of Parker 45s, mechanical pencil and fountain pen. It had two converters with the set so not only is this one set up, I was able to fix up my other 45 Flighter with a converter. Got the set for less than the price of one converter because they are engraved with "Betty". Fine by me, they work great!

Then I picked up a real "mud puppy" phone, someone had spray painted it silver and it looked rough, but I decided to try it anyway as it had a coinverter to a modular jack. Got it today and it works beautifully! But it is even uglier in person than in the pics.

After starting the scrubbing process:

and completed!

Okay, so who remembers the word prefix for 98 or 69?

Vaseline or thin oil is good for bakelite polishing, but it still looking good.

I bought this bakelite Japy mantle clock last week. I probably paid a little too much & it keeps terrible time (I'll get it serviced soon) but it's a beautiful thing & I love it.

Flitz polish works excellent on bakelte also

That's an absolute beauty. It would have to be a lot of money to be too much

A rather nice vintage Stetson in perfect condition. Doesn't look to fit my head so thought someone might be interested.

No question about that! It's quite shame they don't export to Europe, I like it.

I bought a Kosyaire bakelite heater. I'm yet to receive it so I'm wondering how effective it is, but it does look good

$355?! Maybe for a WWII example but not for that era of jacket.
