Matty Bottles Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 But William, didn't you score a sweet bowl? Also, can I call you "Billy Brand"?

Matty Bottles Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Oh, I dig those little channels to get your thumb under to replace the glass. Yeah, I dig that a lot.

William Brand Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 But William, didn't you score a sweet bowl? Aye. Also, can I call you "Billy Brand"? No. william, your hats have gone awol ?? Yep. And that score of yours is making me miss one of my hats in particular. I was forced to attend the Utah Pirate Festival without the wide brim and the tricorn and I still haven't found them. Also missing are my haversack and my ditty bag, but I did find that sweet bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Brand Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I found a cribbage board for $2 and this nifty little tic-tac-toe game for my ditty bag. Cost me 50 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well, to say I'm excited about my latest acquisition would be an understatement. It's not very portable, but for $10, I can't complain. Time to break out the wood polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nicely done! And look, it came with all those lovely writing implements! My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silas thatcher Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 WHOAH !! total score !! very nice addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Lucked into a Goodwill at just the right time. Got a redware bowl, two Shirley of Williamsburg plates, three each goblets and mugs and a five-cup cast iron pot (can you say stew for one?) all for $30. You'll probably see that pot and some of the other stuff at FTPI in LESS THAN A WEEK! Oh, sorry about the outburst. Anybody out there got a 6.5 inch iron or copper lid I can beg, barter or steal? If not then I'll probably hammer out a domed iron one after the first of the year. Edited November 24, 2012 by Captain Jim My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

William Brand Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 That's a good take for $30! I covet the plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jim Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 At FTPI I was jealous of Iron Jon's wine bucket, as I didn't have one to put my Chardonnay in. Even in a careening camp such niceties could be had from aboard ship, especially since Captain Southard is always away. So I found this at one of my local Goodwill stores while looking for pewter, small jars and cast iron. Solid brass, $10, marked down from $20: My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Jon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Nice find, I need to get one myself. The wine bucket at our camp was left behind by someone during the night and I left it out hoping they'd come back for it. They never returned to claim it and it ended up in Fayma's lost and found on Monday.
