Thread: Lone Ranger had a nice collection

Everytime I look at one, it is worn pretty badly. Not me!

Hart was a collector of Western memorabilia of all kinds. Most was pure junk. He wasn't any big star. He mostly played bit rolls in movies and T.V shows and did stunt work early on. His biggest roles were the Lone Ranger and Hawkeye which was a Canada production back in the 50s.

A very sharp knife and tomahawk that he shaved with, and used for VERY close haircuts.

Re-reading the title to this thread the thought occurred to me, he may have had a nice collection, but he didn't take any of it with him ........

Something for us to think about when we look at those 'obscure objects of desire.'

I'm on the same page Bill, fixing to sell a bunch of razors/other stuff. Which makes me wonder why I'm buying yet another one of your magnificent brushes ?

Some things are just worth keeping even if it is only till you die I guess.

I was surprised to see when looking at the sellers other auctions that I had viewed one of them just yesterday. I was searching for a Navy Cutlass and he has one listed.

Life changes when you get Older (I will always be older than you Jim
When I lost my Buis, the wife and I sat down and decided it was time to get rid of all the stuff we almost never used,was not done for monetary gain as I lost money overall.
I had a four car garage and two storage lockers full of STUFF,I ran a garage sale every day for 30 days before we moved.
Sold all my heavy Machine tools,Most of my Gun collection,my boats, my cars,my watch collection,hell, I had 12 cases of 3 in. mag duck loads in my basement and 400 Decoys in a shed
Now we only have what we actually use,life is better I do miss my bridgeport Mill tho when my wife dies,maybe I will get another (Mill)

I bought one of those for a conversation piece. The razor wasn't in bad shape and only 40 bucks with the pick and note etc. Don't know if they are real or not but the check bounced :<0) I see some are a little pricey for what they are.

Yeah if the price was right it may be an interesting conversation piece. Mainly I was just curious as to if they were legit. Seen so many of them come across the auction block lately that I started to wonder if it was a sales pitch thing.
