I do. Here's my main set of US standard sieves that I sometimes use to separate fine gold from discarded waste cons during the winter. The one I used yesterday is a Tyler Standard #10 so completes this set. It makes this stack too high for the shelf so lives on the reloading table to use for separating shot and powder when...not IF... they inadvertently get mixed, as they all too often do if you reload enough. I fabricated an aluminum punch plate insert for it that is just right for #8 shot. I also have a plastic set that goes to field camps with me. My bedroom is a bit of a museum. In this first pic you can see my grandmothers alarm clock that works perfectly(and it's loud enough I can actually hear it!)I remember well from the 50's(I even have the walnut dresser here that it used to sit on in her bedroom), Grandpas folding aluminum candle lantern that has real isinglass windows, a leather cased topofil string box, Grandpas box camera, a black light and two scintillometers. The second pic is especially interesting. The jade or soapstone bookends on the left were brought back from the Philippines by my grandfather after serving in the Spanish American War. The little folding Peter Pan gramophone was his also and works like new and is very cool. I have a good pile of old records to play on it. Not sure when it was made; it has a pat. date of 1913.
