Craftsman Roll away and top box full of tools from Sears around 1972 Bought mine around that time from the Sears store on Lamar in Dallas. They have lasted a lifetime.

BSA MONARCH 30-06 rifle that I bought at FedMart, I think I was about 16, was my go to rifle for deer until 8 to 9 years ago when I switched to a 25-06. That old rifle was still shooting good when I put it in the back of the safe....

Still runs great. you must be rich you have a room just for your piano I fell into a tub of butter when I reconnected with my (now) Wife in 2011. She inherited the house her parents built, and that she grew up in. It had a formal dining room, a formal living room, and a den. When we remodeled the house we made the living room (where the baby grand was originally) into the den and made the den into a NOLA styled piano bar {Wife went to Tulane and loves NOLA}.

My Dad somehow ended up with and old straight razor (German steel) that was my Grandfather's. I got it nice and sharp and tried to shave with it when I was about 17 {1978). Damn that was nervous. Give me a Gillette Track 2 any day. .
