Ferd huh--Just yesterday an old friend and I were talking about a 'Ferd'--Ferd Herres to be exact. Herres is pronounced the same as 'Harris'. Anyway my friend recalled when he was about 7 or 8 and Ferd was at their farm and he made the mistake of calling him 'Fred'--said he never made that mistake again!!

I got a decent deal on a vintage cast iron skillet. It landed today. The seller had done a little seasoning but I did some more.

A late Neil Miller Magnetic full set of components paddle strop, I always wanted one of these when Neil was with us, I never ever thought I would find one especially one that had never been used, then a seller popped up on a UK forum whom I knew quite well and now I'm the proud owner of this fine strop, I'm sure Neil will be so pleased to see his work being used instead of sitting in a draw.

Congratulations, Jamie. I'm always so grateful that I have one of his shell cordovan strops and I think of him whenever I use it. You'll put that beauty to good use.

No kidding. I don't remember seeing one of those before. I got into SR's not long before Mr. Miller's passing though so I'm sure I missed a lot. Originally Posted by Geezer
