See, THIS happens, when restistance was again futile and you bought another delicious pocket knife!
Either you got a wife, which I have not or destiny reminds you of its existence, PAINFULLY!
Now nice cooling my elbow, which "shock-absorbed" my fall on a big city's crosswalk. Nothing seems to be fractured, no precious clothing harmed. The super-sturdy polyester Parka is in the washer, right now.

People pretending to an expertise they don’t possess.
I have a weakness for old paper in general and fruit crate labels in particular. I found this guidebook on the matter online and paid 10 bucks for it, hoping it might offer me a lesson or two on the subject.
But no. The information is not reliable. I happen to have a Blewett Pass apple crate label myself. It’s among my favorites, due to its artistic merit and because I have been over Blewett Pass myself innumerable times. There’s no way this label dates from the 1940s, as the book asserts. Look at cars! Mid-1950s at the earliest.

I see. The cars, while not identifiable as particular makes and models, are definitely of 1950's design. The war stopped production of civilian automobiles and the styling from the late 40's was much different. I'm not a car enthusiast, but I watch enough old movies to recognize general styling features from different decades.

It appears that the artist wasn’t aiming to faithfully represent any particular make or model of car, but yes, those body styles are mid-‘50s at the earliest, although the split windshield on the red one is anachronistic.
I once had a ‘47 Dodge school bus. The body style was decidedly pre-war. The ‘48 models were quite different.
