Some nice finds and the work you have done on the bowie is amazing. Don't think I have ever seen a reale with so many holes....what would have been the purpose of doing that? Are some of those buttons iron?

" all my friends are the low riders "........that picture cracked me up .Great finds once again .For the life of me I can't figure out why someone would put that many holes in that Reale .That Bowie knife is neat .
Great finds. Never seen iron dandy buttons before. I like the reale it has a lot of character. I wonder what they were doing with the holes?

I didn't notice the knife before in the photo collection. Looks pretty nice. Never found a knife that good condition in the woods. The Real is still intriguing to have the seven holes. To me seeing the two holes in the ends of the comb makes me think it was like a shearing piece. idk.. they didn't have plastic back then for personal combs either. Nice LC.

Glad to see what you've been up to Dave. WTG on scoring all of the finds, as I know it's been a tough year. Love the pic of you in the drivers seat, that would make a col Christmas card, LOL!

Math was mine. I went all the way thru differential equations which is past calculus. 'Twas a quick glance without any actual counting involved.thanks! math wasn't my best subject either.you should count again!
I went all the way through subtraction (addition's tricky friend)
Those are some very nice finds Dave, love the pics too!
You going to leave that French coin alone or try to clean it?

Excellent finds Dave. Love your restoration on the knife. Really looks great. I wonder if they planned on stitching the reale into some sort of fabric, or possibly making a fancy whizzer-type toy? Perhaps they lost the top of a small container holding talc etc? Interesting piece though. I should include a similar shot of myself in the driver's seat someday. There's a pounded CH down the road from me that has a similar half of a Model-T sitting in the hole.
