  2. Picture with all the accessories.
  3. I have a Coleman Model B46 GI Stove. It looks similar to the one below except mine is complete with the funnel and wrench/handle. I've tried to cook on it a couple times but the flame it too hot to do much other than boil water.
  4. What little I know about British law, The Land Lady would be charged with assault and would likely get jail time. I would expect Canadian laws to be similar. Defending yourself is against the law.

  8. This and a lot more happens all the time. All countries do this. In my day this never made the news.
  9. My great Uncle Ralph saved all his change. Every day when he arrived home he put all the change into a coffee can. When it was full he would dump it into larger containers. After his death we discovered that over his lifetime he had accumulated at least 12 55 gallon drums full of of change plus several 5 gallon containers of change. I have no idea how much it was worth as someone in the family took it the same night he died. All we found was the marks on the floor of the barn where they had been. Only time I am aware of where he spent any of his change was in the 1950s. As that's when he bought his first new car. Took a wheel barrow of change to the dealership to pay for it. Grandma said that the dealership was not happy when he told them that he had no idea how much money was in the wheel barrow but that after they counted out the cost of the car he'd be back for his wheel barrow and the extra change. Took then two day to count out the 650 odd dollars that the car cost.
  10. Not exactly true. The IRS rounds all values to the nearest dollar. From a processing standpoint this makes sense as they can do away with the decimal point and all the errors caused by its accidental omission when doing calculations.
  11. While this is a start, until the requirement to have an FOID to buy firearms and ammunition is deemed unconstitutional the status quo hasn't really changed.

  14. Do some homework and you'll find that, just like hitler, they perverted religious clothing designs and religious symbols that predated them by hundreds if not thousands of years.

  16. Notice that the barrier has nice big holes to allow those that have to learn the hard way the ability to do so.

  18. THE PENNY SYSTEM Understanding the penny nail requires a look back to England in the late Middle Ages. In the 1400s, the price of 120 nails was measured in pennies, or “pence.” Like today, larger nails sold for higher prices. The penny number is simply the price of 120 nails of a given length in historic England. Though the exact timing and circumstances are lost to history, what started as simple, standard pricing for various lengths of hand-forged nails became a naming convention that would last for more than 500 years and counting. On the low end, 1-inch nails were sold for 2 pence per 120 nails. That’s how 2-penny or 2d came to describe nails that are 1 inch in length. On the high end, six-inch nails were sold for about 60 pence per 120 nails, which is why 60-penny or 60d nails refer to 6-inch nails today. From 2d to 16d nails, the penny size increases by one to two for every ¼-inch of length added to the nail. For 20d nails and longer, the penny size increases by 10 per ½-inch of length. Here is a handy chart for reference – if you’re new to penny sizes, you can print it out and place it on your toolbox. 2d = 1” 10d = 3” 3d = 1-¼” 12d = 3-¼” 4d = 1-½” 16d = 3-½” 5d = 1-¾” 20d = 4” 6d = 2” 30d = 4-½” 7d = 2-14” 40d = 5” 8d = 2-½” 50d = 5-½” 9d = 2-¾” 60d = 6” WHAT DOES THE “D” MEAN? In writing, the word “penny” is typically abbreviated as “d.” This is a reference to the Latin name of the most common silver coin used in ancient Rome, the denarius. When speaking, most people pronounce the “d” as “penny.”

  21. Unless that ammo crate was sent to a museum right after it was made and stored under carefully controlled conditions; there is no way it is 100+ years old. Note that the auction description makes no claims to its age or authenticity.
