I love it when…

For some of us who don’t get to travel to many shows either due to work, demands at home, $, lack of shows in the area, or just because we are too lazy to get off our duff, it is hard to stay connected with fellow collectors. Well, I fall into this category too, for many of the reasons listed.

But, I love it when you guys share what is going on in your collector world. I find it most enjoyable when you take the time to share with me your “finds.” 

One collector in particular keeps the good times coming and he is Roger Cunningham. I know he is centrally located with lots of club shows to go to, but I also know this is a man on a mission- he is out there actively prospecting for toenails.

Well, about every other week, or so it seems, Roger fires me another set of pictures with his latest finds. Yesterday, I get two more. My gracious, and the thing  about Roger is he isn’t just out there buying any old toenail with two blades and two sides of a handle. Roger is fairly particular about the toes he adds to his collection.

Here are the two he sent earlier this week.

So, I want to share with all of you (I know he won’t mind) so you can get refreshed, as I do each time I see an email from him with attachments. The one one the left is a Case Brothers with greenbone handles. On the right is a Camillus depicting the driving of the golden spike.

These are two fine toes! Thanks Roger for sharing.
