Edgar, just tell her your most valuable item in your collection is your trophy wife. You’re Welcome.

Some of my collections are extensions and additions of my grandfathers and fathers as well. Marbles, tops, bamboo fly rods, sxs's, tools, knives, and vintage 28 gauge shell boxes are my interest areas.

So that's where they went. Mystery solved.

I always thought this was cool. My Dad bought it for his Dad many, many years ago. When my Grandfather died, my Dad gave it to me. It now resides in my gun cabinet.

Alfred…..From the early fifties to 1986 my father opened up hundreds of Carling Black Labels with the setter opener. In all my years of digging through antique shops I had never seen another till a couple of years ago and picked it up for my son. He already knows the story of mine and he will, among other things, use it when I am gone. Every darn time I use it I think of all those Black Labels and my Dad. Yours is only the third one I ever saw. Thanks for posting that…..

The Yellow Labrador opener is from 1980…. bought at the Old Forge Hardware Store In Old Forge, New York
