The Tinker Collection~

Ron Smith · 01-13-2008, 10:14 PM

I was just over hangin' out at the P.38 Forum. Ed Tinker posted a photo of his collection. Since he doesn't think enough of us over here in Lugerville to share. I thought that I would take the liberty of posting the photo of his collection.

His composition isn't the greatest. And the lighting leaves a bit to be desired, but all in all it ain't really that great.

Hey Ed... Nice collection..ah..accumulation..er pile...!!!

Anything to help...

Ron

I think the Bore Stroke rugs might be boosted.

It actually was posted here forst, but the response was so pooor...

Ron, do you like this one better? 3 or 4 of these have been sold in the last month, but don't feel too bad, I have an M1 Carbine Winchester and a 1900 luger on their way to me

Bob, I believe you have a nice one enroute too

I own a "reproduction" of your oak collection display table Ed... but I had to settle for different chairs, I couldn't afford the entire "rig"...

Seriously... both you collection and your have grown exponentially since you first appeared on this forum... (and I am not talking about your weight)... Really nice collection. Thanks for sharing.

Our chairs are "eclectic", i.e. we like them slightly different. the table cloth is an exact copy / type from Germany that we bought 15 years ago, we 'worn one out that we had

I was told by my mom, "if it doesnt fit under my bed, I cant afford it" 40 years later, i found out it also applied to ex-wives!!

Very impressive, Ed. Mine looks more like the lead photo.
