madPete Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I got a big new chunk of hemp linen from Red Handed J... err... My Secret Santa. There was a nice note on the package about how she remembered Patrick Hand loved this material. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Hope you find a good use for that! If memory serves, Patt dyed his and made a pair of slops. There should be more than enough for either that or a shirt. I got a cool scarf from Duchess with block-printed nautical motifs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly unique addition to my kit, which I will treasure. Merry Christmas! Looks like an ornament or is functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanism sticks a bit, and I haven’t been able to loosen the top for filling, but I was able to drop wire through the nozzle, and it went all the way to the bottom of the bag. If anyone 👀 knows more about this lovely gem, I’d be happy for the information! The comparable ones I have found online are reproductions or auction house items, with a shorter nozzle. Oooh, shiny!

Commodore Swab Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I got mine last night when I went and saw a friend. Beautiful box with a nice quill and homemade ink that I should be using at Alafia Rendezvous here in a week. Years ago Ivan Henry had a batch of those flasks but the tips were shorter. The top would unscrew, veteran arms sells a new one that size but they are all brass. It looks like yours has a new tip probably to make priming easier.

Mary Diamond Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Success! A bit of black powder caught in the threads… thank you for the input, Commodore Swab 😊 Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Okay, now that I have finally sent the gift to my recipient (and since she knew who her giftee was, I forwarded a tracking # as well)... I received mine back in mid-December... I tore into it thinking it was a random package from a known prankster, only to realize that said prankster was my generous Xmas-gift-giver. Hawt damn, there was a lot of amazing goodies in there. But most amazing, a pair of cat-toys for my two cats was even included! But seriously Stynky, that was an amazingly generous bundle, and I truly love it all. Specially that brown hat-blank, it definitely matches my general earth-tones vibe that I cling to for my re-enacting gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, I'm glad you liked everything! But just a heads up on one of the ancient Pyracy Pub Gift Exchange artifacts I sent, the rubber duck. Back when Duchess started this gift exchange thing, she sent it to me for my first gift exchange. Ever since, It has been loved and cherished. Anyway, I got sick of it staring at me in judgment, I now pass it on to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a cool scarf, each of those blocks was made by a Pub member and printed by me. You are now in possession of the proof print for the 2023 Traveling Yard. It is 100% cotton and will take dye nicely, or wear it proudly as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will cherish it all the more... until the next time I participate in one of these (next year), and forward it to the next person with the same short history lesson. Rubber Pirate Duck can become the Pub's unofficial flat Stanley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
