blunderbuss2
(199 items)
As promised. My sister's ObamaCare daughter did these with an ipad & surprised that they came out half decent. There are some penciled names or whatever on the back slats but I will have to get my sister to read it & relay. It was interesting reading up on these & they are assembled inside the bottle. As a youth, I wondered if there was a way they cut the bottle bottom off & reattached somehow. Don't have to worry about that anymore. No trick! (Except exactly how it's done).
Hopefully it's the maker's name. Was given to my father in the early-mid 50's.
Nice! - Rob
Who's Rob?
LoL, bb2 his name is Rob.
I picked up an old Mauser m48 brass oil/solvent bottle yesterday. Gonna post it later.
Happy New Year!!!
Now we need one with one of Phil's sweet little Pixies in their sitting on something adorable :-)
*there* Darn Swype LoL
OK hockey fans, got the info from Sis. The writing on the chair says,"J. Walter Eason", "Bowden, GA", "Born May 12,1893" and then she says that other writings on it give Biblical references. Bowden is about halfway between Anniston & Atlanta. Been interesting research & 1 collector says that all she has seen, but 1, was made in the South.
Interesting info. It makes me wonder if the whimsy bottle was made in celebration of the birth of J. Eason.
Rniederman, don't see where you get the connection?

Good show that, walks! If he had given the date of his death, it would be positive. LOL. Got some info on him & there was nothing there to warrant any special celebration of his birth or life.
Hope you have a great New Year you old fart!
LoL pops!! Happy New Year cw's bad boy
Thanks pops, I think! And Amy, It's B-A-D Boy. Bonne Annee everybody. I come home early New Year's Eve's now. To many amateur drunks on the road. Bad enough the other nites here when it's us professionals.
Happy New Year, B'buss, or O F, or B B! :-)
That O F wasn't real subtle. I might as well accept it now! Bonne Annee walks. Have the naval blunderbuss loaded with a double charge for midnight. In the past few years I've noticed that when I let that thing roar, the firecrackers stop. No competition available!
No, It just scares the shit out of them & they have to go home & change!
Bonne Annee O F & keep your powder dry!
In case Pops has started a trend, be sure I'm addressed as "Mr. Old Fart, Sir". Actually, I kind of liked BB2 & it's shorter.
"Mr. Old Fart, Sir", seems far to formal for friends, I think I'll stick with B'buss:-)
Glad to hear that. Nip it in the bud.
Phil, it's in KY & has a permanently locking stopper.
Phil's a Super Hero
So funny!
Amazing thing!!!
And so funny conversation, Phil, you are so formal ;-))
That's really cool, but what's an Obama care Daughter ?
My niece who can't hold a job & lives off of gov't aid & begging her mother for help.
BB2 I went through that same thing with my youngest son. When I stopped paying his monthly bills he got off his dead ass and went to work. Today he is a single dad with custody of his son and doing fine on his own. I never mind helping but someday daddy won't be here, time to stand on your own two feet.
