No worries, I can see the full sized pic - you just have to click on the thumbnail. Nice looking stuff, got any info on the makers?

That Plumb double is a dandy - when are you gonna get that rust off and put a new handle on it?
In the picture of 4, the first is the American Beauty, was my wife's grandfathers. The second with the handle that shows good stain, is my Collins Legitmus. One side of the head the blueing is almost perfect, and the white lettering "Genuine Collins Hickory" is almost perfect. The third is a Kelly, the fourth is an old Crafstman. The single pic of the Plumb is a little 24" cruiser, Joe.

Very nice, thanks for the info!
Right now I'm working on another smaller project. A late 30's early 40's Camillus "Scout Knife" I found it in an old tin box from one of my favorite uncles. The scales were shot, but the steel is in pretty good shape. I plan on hand fitting a pair of Black Locust scales. The escutcheon that says "Scout Knife" was just pinned on top of the handles. I plan on inlaying it. I also plan on putting a 4 point checkering job on it. Locust is pretty hard, we'll see how it goes, Joe.

Those are all awesome, but I really like that tiny little anvil! Once I get some spending money again, I plan to buy a quality anvil and some old smithing tools.
A friend was cleaning out his garage a few months ago and gave me the little anvil. Do a search of Rail Road track anvil and you will get several really nice videos of making them. Some of the guys made them so pretty you wouldn't want to smack them with anything, Joe.
howdy neighbor. I'm just down the road in east berlin.

Pleased to be acquainted, good sir. We're due south in Fairfield, just a short jaunt down 15, about a mile from the Mason-Dixon.

Likewise
I'd be up for that, you already know that I like to throw lead, but I also brew my own beer. I currently have five kegs on tap.
Sounds good, let me know and I'll see about joining y'all. Whereabouts, another member's place or a restaurant or something like that?
Hey, I'm on the proper side of the Mason Dixon also, just a few minutes down 15, Joe.
I might add that we like to sling lead down here too, I have more Model 1899 Savages made before WWII than I have axes, Joe.

My father-in-law has a nice Model 99 chambered in .300 Savage, it's an old one too, belonged to his father, and my father-in-law was born in 33'.
