If there ever was one the info is probably quite dated. As the original creator of this thread is long gone. At least I have not seen a post from them in over 3 years of hanging out here.

Did you have a specific question you wanted to ask though? We might know the answer. @007Sean is near San Antonio I am near Brownsville.

I would recomend TSC(no post board at my TSC) or your local feed store as they usually have a post board up with buy/sell offers too.

A couple of the project managers are working on a Breeders Directory. I don't know if it has been released or not? @rjohns39 , would be the one to contact about the Directory.

I just wanted to upload a photo of one my younger corkscrews. This is our daily driver one and it is only from 1951 they stamp the date on the back of the authentic ones. I do not know the age off hand of my older one but this accordion lever scheme makes opening corked bottles quite easy. Someone bought the dies for these and produced a run in 2008 but they don't stamp the date on the back of those. Those two hooks up top are intended to be bottle cap openers post 1928 if I remember correctly. It is a little out of focus as I was too lazy to change lenses from my long lens to a shorter one. Ignore the dog hair on the floor we have house dogs. A quick follow on edit:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/745509...MItJikxuqM7gIVrP_jBx0pSgDwEAQYAyABEgKZWvD_BwE is a BS fake in 1919 they wouldn't have had the bottle opener feature. Also there isn't a single picture of the date stamp side.

Looks like a serious weapon. Quality made, you can tell.

Well. I'm officially sick. Nothing major, slight ear issue, not infected, just fluid buildup. I hear thump thump thumps. Went to dr. Antibiotics for 10 days. Horse pills.

On a more positive note, forecast is "possible" frozen wet stuff sat nite Sunday and Sunday nite. We shall see.

Brrrr!!!! Cold here this morning, a hard, hard frost! 33°F, calm, clear. We're not suppose to get any of the white stuff but they have gotten it wrong before loaded up on fire wood, propane and kerosene and other provisions!....think I'm ready if it gets nasty!
