Anything Snow Hill is a great photo!

Janice, just looked them up. I know W R Grace very well and used their DAREX material for years. I will send them a note tomorrow and see if I can get a response to DALEX. W R Grace makes plastics, film and other chemicals so there could be a good fit.

Oh my goodness! I feel like I am in a time warp…..I can remember riding those streets on my bike. Thank you Lyn for sharing!

Very sad indeed!

Great photo Viv!

Yes, I saw that; looked like an early version of a semi synthetic material used on relatively high volume furniture manufacturing. The name coming from their address Dale End. Then nothing!

Not sure about the mentholated sprit because I have no experience with that approach, but I do like the idea of using the fine grit sanding approach. I think that Morts council is very appropriate, thinking carefully as to what do you want to end up with? Good luck!

Absolutly could not agree more about the cheeky kids! My mother called me that ALL of the time. Regarding the soda syphon, on those rare occasions I only ever got 2/-

I will send by snail mail. My apologies for not doing that earlier!

Yes, we get many calls with area codes close or in our phone numbers. My wife has a NJ number and I have TN. Currently I and scheduling doctors appointments and am afraid not to pick the phone!

Very interesting modifications back in 1867, just of think of the mechanism changes back then and how each was made by hand. No SolidWorks program computer controlled milling machine!

Do they still allow that on new guns? In the US and Canada the hammer has to be closed for safety purposes, at least that is my understanding.

I will give that a try! Thank you…

Just tried to send a couple of photos “file too large” Did something change or am I doing something wrong? I used the same camera and computer in the past with no issues. Any help would be appreciated!

That looks REALLY bad!

The skil required to do this workaday incredibly high, particularly making multiple weapon mechanisms. In addition to the filing, the heat treatment and conditioning was to utmost care and skill!

The problem is that the scammers just keep going regardless of how many times you get hit or repot them. Our local hospital just had their/our files hacked and there is little that can be done except spend more on cyber security keep our fingers crossed and who pays for that in the long run!

So much fun we had in the bombed-out buildings without thinking about the suffering that was caused! They were like magnets to us without giving second thoughts that something might fall on us.
