    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    A relative was commuting to Hong Kong on Pan Am and was offered commemorative china plates on some of those flights. I ended up with a couple and decided to complete the set later. Here are three:


    The Pan Am Martin-130 "China Clipper" taxis in Hong Kong harbor.


    The Sikorsky S-42 "Brazilianicon Clipper" flies over the coast of Brazil.


    The Lockheed Constellation passes the Golden Gate.
