Nashville specifically has the Grand Ol Opry (Ryman Theater), the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Tennessee State Museum and Capitol complex. Bell Meade Plantation, Belmont Mansion, Cooters (Dukes...

We spent a week in Tennessee a couple of years ago and loved it but we were much further west. Main trip was for the Shiloh battlefield and in the process saw a couple of other minor battlefields in...

It has CN1986 over a broad arrow over 1954. Made by J. Hudson & Co. Birmingham.

I wouldn't quite call it a collection. I think I'm up to four now. But it is slowly growing so one day it will become a collection. Five, I just remembered I have a Russian whistle from WWI around...

This is a standard US type whistle. It's the type everyone thinks of in the US when they hear whistle so it could be used by anyone. Police, MP's, officers, drill sergeants, air crews, Boy Scouts,...

My big purchase of the weekend. A whistle I'm not positive is military issue or from what time period it is from. I've seen anywhere from WWI to WWII suggested. It is brass and I know the US Army...

Many of you know I'll collect anything but this has me holding back a bit, not exactly cheap and not sure how it fits in to anything.

It appears to be in decent shape, no holes or tears but some...

Rain and yard sales simply don't mix. Went to three different neighborhood sales and very few people out, everything packed into the garage. I noticed some Woodland BDU uniforms in a box that were...

I have some similar things from the US in WWII. Not sure where I have them. Got them at a yard sale years ago. They are round tokens that look like coins that were used as change for the ration...

Good luck. I steer clear of his rallies here because they are a nightmare. Massive crowds, traffic at a standstill. Lines starting over 24 hours before he's even scheduled to appear. A mile walk...

eBay pickup, seems in decent shape, I thought most of these would be canvas but leather seems to be common.

Just need the blasted grips. Starting to look like I may need to make a set out of...

Happy Birthday Mike.

It probably is but the outboard engine on the right wing was blowing oil out the rear of the cowling.

Yesterday was rainy so outside dealers were non-existent. My usual guys under the pavilion didn't show up either. We went to an antique shop I don't get much at typically but I found a Barclay toy...

I'm pretty lucky as we have a big WWII weekend about half an hour away every D-Day anniversary. Fifi is there every year, Doc was there once. They have B-17's there every year also but none this...

I'm on a roll. Up close and personal with a B-17 last weekend and actually in a B-29 this weekend.

Doc, one of two flying B-29's is in Allentown this week. Has been there since Monday and is...

Couple of items today at an antique shop. WWII era 1944 water resistant sleeping bag cover. Tag is present but can't be read. Later ones had large tags fully sewn to the edge, this has the cloth...

You have a bayonet for the M91 rifle, you have an M38 rifle so no, you do not have the right bayonet. M38 bayonets are rather expensive, in the $200-$300 range unless you get one of the modified...

Sunday we went to the Dover Air Force Museum. My computer is acting up and I can barely type without it going nuts. I have 650 photos and will try to get a few posted when I can. We were at this...

Our trip to Delaware was pretty productive in terms of learning about military history. We first went to FT Miles which was a WWII shore battery installation. We had been there before, many years...

I'm beginning to think that may be what happened. The upper edge is rough to about the halfway point, almost like the blade was cast and they didn't finish the edge, then it is smoother, ground...

I have a family trip this weekend that I forgot all about. So I can't hit any yard sales or my regular shops. Hoping I find something where we are going. I'll enter withdrawel. On the positive...

I did look at it closer. The finish (color) is the same, but the milling is different. Not sure what that means. I would think the color would be different if it was done later but it is a...
