Uh-Ho SC found it! It's a WW1 collar dic!!! Never had any idea it was that old. Thanks for pushing me a little bit to find more info on it!
Also the button is a WW2 Army Great Seal Eagle Overcoat Button!
WWI, that is going way back. I have a couple of Confederate rifles, one carbine and the other a long gun but they have been reconstructed. All of the wood has been replaced. But the brass on the stock and firing mechanism (with a little tweeking) are Confederate. Made in Athens, GA in 1864.

I love the old military stuff and I am thankful you were able to ID them
 
If it looks like this it is a WWII Army lapel pin
th


This is what I wore on my dress uniform from 1966-1968.. I had an armor MOS assigned to USATCA

Hello D league friends. Hope all is well. Been busy with life haven't got to post much.

Gonna have to come up with a new post pal. You say that every time. Get unbusy.

I think they wait until the first round games are finished, depending on the match ups (teams) they think everyone wants see they designate game times accordingly? ...."think" being the key word

Don't know why I quoted this.
 
People are going crazy over Calipari to UCLA. Funny how stupid things make the media every year about this time concerning Coach Calipari. Coach has said Kentucky is the Gold Standard of college basketball. That we are different and special. And you actually think Calipari is going to give that up for UCLA? Are you kidding me? He has not lost his mind.

Go to UCLA where there is lots of room for expansion. He could get the attendance up to 5,000 if they are rated number 1 for three straight years!
 
King Edward in a box, Prince Albert in a can, no respect for Royalty anymore.

My dad went through about 2 of these a day. He also had black lung disease to show for a life of coal mining. He died at 67 attached to an oxygen tank. A long life all things considered (but his last years were miserable.).

I told the guys to make it plan jane.

I wanted Georgia granite instead of New Hampshire granite (the quarry in Georgia is served by my railroad, CSX). My folks moved from England to Barbados to Virginia to Georgia and to Kentucky. Southern all the damned way.

My tomb stone is Southern.

As a geology guy the Georgia granite is the same as the New Hampshire (caused by the same geologic event) but the yankees try to tell us that the NH granite is better. Bull hockey.

My wife and I have plots next to her parents, but we recently purchased crypts. Probably will give the plots to someone in the family.

The oldest phone prank in the book:

Prank caller: Do you have Prince Albert in a can?
Store employee: Yes we do.
Prank caller: Then you better let him out before he suffocates.

Old, old joke but I just had to do it.

This is the electric company, is your refrigerator running? "Yes it is" Well, you better go out and catch it.
 
Good morning D League. Seems impossible the tourney kicks off today. Always bittersweet. I've followed the Cats in all these since 1966. Many have generated terrific thrills. All but four ultimately ended with a loss. The worst part is saying goodbye to kids you've enjoyed watching and getting to know.

On another note -- great photos Bev. But I am not buying that there is 31 years between them. I'll believe ten - no more than a decade.
 
Good morning D-League

Currently 59° with a high of 72 later this afternoon. The girl on the radio promised we would warm up soon and I am thankful for that. This winter weather needs to stop. It is Spring Time.

Game day. Some are predicting Abilene Christian will knock us off this evening. We need to prove them wrong. What does someone in Ft Worth know about predicting a college basketball game. Lots of basketball today and I have planned my day around it. Let's tip it off and get it on

Make it a good day
 
The man on the radio is talking about a population explosion in Florida. He is talking about building a wall to keep developers out. I like that idea. Where I live we can not support a major population explosion. We have enough people. You would have to tear all of the marshes out to bring in more people. The developers may call it progress but I call it insanity. Destroy this to build condos and high rises just to see the water. I don't think so. They have all of he concrete you need in South Florida. Leave us alone money grabbing developers. These marshes are currently protected and are wildlife preserves. But money talks and developers have a lot of it.
