Man was this a good week for me and my 250.

I knew what that tire gauge was as soon as I saw it. Only cause I just found one like it a couple weeks ago. But the one I have doesnt have "Made for Firestone" on it. You have some nice finds there

Congratulations! I know what you mean by being "hooked". TH'ing is a lot of fun (and exercise). I gave my ex-girlfriend some really nice rings that I found. You should be able to find some buckles and buttons over there, also. Best luck, Kevin in Ipswich, MA

I know that one has 3 and one has 1.but do they come from a differant type of gun,are they older or what.I am still proud of my little old 1 ringer.
