Sam, I've probably been hanging on to them for 30 years. I pulled out 6 for you still in the original pkg. While I was at it I found a few Rams Horns.

They would go nicely with my thru bolts and thimble eyes!

Sam, You don't have a linemans hammer do you? I also found my brace and bits from when things were done the armstrong way along with two pencil dial butt sets. You are right we don't throw anything away.

I've got my Klein double faced Lineman's hammer. I used it last week! (not on a pole, though) Broke up some concrete....
I've still got one of those black rubber pencil-dial butt sets. My first one.
I actually started using the lamp extractor when I busted a lamp inside a K-30 (using my long nose) and had a bitch of a time getting the little pieces of glass out.

Sam next time I'm coerced into going into Brooklyn to visit my wifes family, maybe we can grab a coffee. They are right on the other side of the bridge by a funeral home.

Speaking of funeral homes*, and the proximity of several of our NYC area members, howsa bout we plan a little get together in the Spring?
A nice place in Queens, frinstance? Or Da Bronx? Since many of us are frightened of going to Maine (we've heard about the mosquitos that fly off with sheep and small children) let's do a similar Fun Day With The Boys.
Everyone is welcome, of course, even those guys from New Hampshire.
Sam, since you're the oldest member, can you help plan this event?
*we're not getting any younger, is my point.

Still have my lamp extractor. Very handy for those deep seated 10V lamps.
