Gracious Galoots.

Yeah, I said that.  I should have posted this gloat earlier; last fall 
actually.  Anyway, last fall, at the dealer show in Camp Hill, I got 
hooked up with a dealer who had a tool chest, yadda, yadda... To make a 
long story short, as they say, I went to visit, liked what I saw, and 
made the purchase.  At the show last week I added a few more nice 
things; a set of planes in a box and the deceased planemakers tools.  I 
have been having trouble with my camera phone.  I don't know why some of 
the pics came out in black and white.  Oh well, enjoy.
