@twin The one from the lunch box story?! That's rad - is there a sign giving any info about it?

[twin]

@Inorganic Look up big nickel. There were lots of mines here.

Thrifted this wool western shirt. It's super fitted and a bit long, fits like an Ship John in my opinion. But the best part (other than the price) is the tag. Thank you bad ass grannie, wherever you are out there. I appreciate it very much!

Mental Mark

He's actually a wonderful person, extremely knowledgeable about antiques. Also very entertaining.

@Giles I sort of remember his story about a Mrs. Shufflebottom who lived on the Isle of Wight. I was more intrigued by her name than the story, which was good.

[Inorganic]

@freepickin that is a keeper

Oh yes, I will have to ask him about that one.....

@steelworker Always known as Big Nickel.

[twin]

@steelworker Also look up (Sudbury Igneous Complex). That will explain why the nickel is there.

@Inorganic As a sheet metal tradesman, this is a badass lunchbox! Makes me want to make one for myself.

[Inorganic]

@Danimal506 build it and sales will come! (become the sheet metal tradesman of field of dreams)

i think (keep in mind i have 0 experience here) that if you walk into a sales meeting and slam a fucker like this down on the table only good can come from it

[Danimal506]

@Inorganic I’m not a sales guy. But maybe I could corner the market in handmade boutique lunchboxes? Learn how to engrave and really go to town
