GIVEAWAY-1889 Cartridge Extractor (I think)

For the price of postage only, a ca. 4 1/4" long, metal extractor marked G. & J.W. Hawksley. Also giving away with it a 90-page photocopy of the 1889 Hawksley catalog in which this item appears--and is identified as a "Gun Metal Pin-Fire Extractor" (whatever in the world that is). Shipped from NJ (USA) by whatever way you prefer.

 

I have no need of this, but it's tempting because it's so cool. I'll bet Springfield will want it!

 

I agree with both your points. I bought it at a house sale many years ago, because I thought it was cool, too. What is cool to me now is ridding myself of too much flotsam and jetsam here.

 

Yeah, I know the feeling. My house is neat and I'm not a hoarder...but when you have three china cabinets, two display cases and cupboards full of glass and china you may be a fanatic. I have lots of little items like this, too. My parents had a second hand store and my mother was a packrat so I inherited the gene.

 

That would sell well on feebay

 

That is most likely what I had in mind when I bought it many years ago, but I don't sell online--or anywhere--anymore. I would just be happy now to have it give some benefit to someone else.

 

I agree....Springfield should get it if he wants it....

 

pin fire....just so's ya no......

 

LOL - I resemble that remark. Glad to see I'm not the only one!! (Don't wan't to hijack this page but I thought that was funny)



And just in case I get more china cabinets I have a "few" boxes of glass items I can stock them up with..........

 

I think you have too much blue & white and you need to send some to me.

 

Wow, Rayo - looks like you have something for everybody!

 

I have a platter that matches the butter dish in the next to last pic

 

Well, Bev, one of you should send his/her matching piece to the other!

 

Like AF's shed, I have an attic and a storage unit packed with boxes instead of a shed. If I ever find it, I'll offer it up!!

 

Yeah - I have a "sweet tooth" For Buffalo Blue Willow!

 

If you have gold coins holding the drapes in place......I'm coming over !!!

 

LOL!!! My gold coins are slabbed by PCGS!!

 

@Rayo56
So glad to see someone else collects dust. I have a huge collection of it as well, with quite a bit of glass and knick knacks spread in between.

 

Very expensive "dust" - at least I HOPE - LOL!!

 

From dust you have come and dust you shall collect? No, that's not right.... Accurate, but not right.
