Flow could also be read as another old collector died.

Or it could mean some folks have decided through necessity to liquidate their collections.

I decided to reduce the number of Foxes in my safe and sold several in the last couple of years. I didn’t think I needed that many guns with my number of birthdays. I wound up adding an English gun and a couple of Parker’s. Eve always seems to point out another apple on the tree.

When I was much younger I'd almost get mad and thought it was sacrilegious watching old guys allow a big inventory of fine shotguns build up in their safes. I couldn't afford them so used to encourage the old goats to unload these lonely fine pieces at more affordable prices. After all these American masterpieces were not being allowed to do what they were designed and built to do! Awesome handmade machines that worked at -20 F or 110 F, or rain or snow ! I knew these "collectors" couldn't have possibly used them but rather just drank whiskey and would occasionally open the safe and look at them...
...now I'm turning into one...and I blame this marvelous discussion board. (: |
