I'm about half tempted to drive to New Hampshire to soak in the aura of The Vault.

It's on the way to the UP isn't it?

If I went to NH I wouldn't go to the UP also.

Nice! my favorite Winchesters. 71's,95's, and of course 86's!
I think the 64 and 71 are just beautiful looking classic sporting arms with classy and very sexy lines.......
I really like the Hills Bros can too!

Well here is a working picture,of one of the 2 lombard tractors i own,this is in the 1920's in northern maine. I got my machines out of the Maine woods on the allagash river in the late 70's from where they were abandoned. and here is a picture from one of he local tractor shows several years ago. ![[Linked Image from pbase.com]](https://pbase.com/loggah/image/162153974/original.jpg) at the show. had wheels on them for summer use. ![[Linked Image from pbase.com]](https://pbase.com/loggah/image/163477599/original.jpg) Very cool - I have to think you and this guy would get along very well! https://www.kingofobsolete.ca

Yup, Joey is quite a charactor!!! a number of years back he had a bunch of lombard sled castings i was looking for. He said he would fill a crate full and sell them to me after he hauled them 500 miles south to Winnipeg for $75 !!!!! I told him Joey no way was i going to abuse him that bad. Good guy!!! one of my friends sunk one of his cats on him,took a bit to get it out !

I followed his salvage of the Beech-18 from the lake where after he got it ashore realized it was a different one than he thought . "That's OK I know two more" A few in lakes up there I guess!

Looking at that collection, all I can think is how tragic so many men bought beautiful rifles and then passed away before the next deer season! When the widows sold them, I hope they got top dollar.

I loved this thread when it appeared last winter, fascinated over all the 'eye candy'. Went back this evening and viewed and read the thread again. Reposting it to page 1 in case any new forum members haven't seen it and can enjoy it as much as I. Gotta go, need to check my pants just in case of any over excitement problems.
