Things are stiil out there, Boys!
« on: January 17, 2011, 10:29:27 PM »
Just got back into town from Las Vegas where JTR and I attended the LV Winter Antique Gun and Knife Show. Great show with lots of really fine things for sale, a whole bunch of yarns, and stories, and many interesting people.
Highlight for me was when an older lady come in with an original F&I War carved map horn, named and dated, and still grungy looking (not cleaned in ages). We all looked it over pretty good and it might have gone home with one of us, but she wanted 15K for it and that sure was a deal killer. I saw it as being overpriced by half, but someone there in the show probably took it home with them. It goes to show that there are still some good things squirreled away out there, however.
All in all, the best part of the show though was being in the company of Scott and Cathy Sibley, Ken Gahagen, David Hughes, Robert Weil, and Mike D'Ambra. They all came in for the show from afar to enjoy themselves. We are talking some really fine people here and getting to know them was a real pleasure. Hope it happens again next year.
Keep your eyes open and your pocket full of money, never know when something will show up. Be ready.

The pleasure was all ours meeting up with  you guys and spending time talking about what we all love and covet.
