Cool oil can. It's like getting the bayonet for your old Lee Enfield rifle, the collection is just more complete with the accessories.
Speaking of which, I've only had one saw ever come with the bar wrench. I've never seen any specifically marked Homelite or anything. Were most of them just a typical scrench (sp?)? The one I have came with my Super 2 and it's kind of a flat, punched box wrench with a flat driver on the other end.

I have one of those flat wrenches here somewhere, still in its bubble pack. I don't know if Homelite is marked on the wrench but it is a Homelite package.

The whole collection it great, I love it. I am amazed that you have been able to get that many items all together.
(I have a couple of books of matches from a gas station I worked in as a teenager (about 50 years ago), they still work. I have newer matches that don't. That's progress for ya!)

(I have a couple of books of matches from a gas station I worked in as a teenager (about 50 years ago), they still work. I have newer matches that don't. That's progress for ya!) People that knew my Dad still joke about the dash of his truck. He had every tool, scrench, file needed to work on a saw piled on there. Every time he got a new truck, all the stuff just got transferred. One day, while waiting for a rainstorm to pass, one of the guys started rooting through all the stuff. He found a match book that must have been from the 50's. It was a Pep Boys match book, with a picture of "Manny, Moe, and Jack" on the cover. No one was paying attention when he got a small file and poked three holes in the cover, then bent 3 matches over and stuck them through the holes. With the matches bent over and stuck through the cover it made a triangle that stood up. He proudly stuck the book on the dash and "Manny, Moe and Jack", had red heads sticking out of their zippers! That match book stayed on Dad's dash till he gave the truck to my sister. It was a 78 F250 and he gave it to her when he retired in 84-85. |

My old man's dash was a storage shelf. Easily a hundred half used books of matches, packs of cigarettes, lottery scratch offs, tools, programs from the horse track... He always knew when I'd borrow the car, I couldn't take a corner slow enough to keep all that stuff from sloshing back and forth like a wave. Sometimes between my lead foot and his worn out suspension, half of it went right out the passenger window! |

But, I've seen those bayonets sell for more than some of the cars I've had! |

Guy in North Carolina I think, Purgatory Iron Works, could replicate one of those easy and you'd have a hell of a time telling it from the originals. Have him make 10 and sell the rest, to pay for yours. |

No, don't think a black smith could match the serial numbers and the Savage Indian in Headdress logo stamped on them. There were only about 800 of them made, matched to a rifle, in 1914 for a group of Canadian citizens to defend themselves from invasion. Sorry for getting OT, Joe.
