Richmond Relic Show (7/16/2016 thru 7/17/2017)

[CarlS]

Hello,

Wanted to pass along a reminder that the NSTCW relic show is this coming weekend. Details at:
     http://www.nstcivilwar.com/cgi-bin/show.asp
Advertised as 500 tables and in a great location.  Always lots of good relics.  Bullet and Shell will have a couple tables loaded with stuff to make you drool!  I'm sure quite a few other collector/dealers among our ranks will be there as well.  Hope to see you there.

As always, any drilling or cleaning needed this is a good time to drop them off.

  I will be there on Saturday, all day. But I won't have a sales-table this year, due to Cataract Removal surgery on Thursday... which means I won't be able to see well enough to drive. So our fellow forumite Brother Dan (6lbgun) will be picking me up for the show, and I expect we'll spend a lot of time hanging around the artillery shell tables of Carl-&-Mike and Dave Kornely, whose tables are usually located adjacent to each other at this show.  Please stop by and introduce yourselves with your forum posting-name.

Regards,
Pete

I will be helping Mike Wright Saturday with display tables of his late father, Jerry Wright's dug relic collection.  forumite dlw1610 (David Wright)

Looking forward to it.  The Richmond Shows always seem to have some great displays.

Show was excellent.  Great to see folks like Carl, Pete, David x 3, and others. Arrived home safely last night.  Picked up a Dahlgren boat howitzer on the return trip. Here is Jim T who helped get it loaded up for the cross country trip.  I made a lot of friends en route photographing it out of passing vehicles and at every gas stop along the way!

I will post clearer pictures later.

Some people just know how to make a Roadtrip.

It was a heck of a trip and not one I am inclined to do again soon!

Nice markings

Now that's what I call open carry.

Beautiful acquisition Mike, congratulations!!

Looks like you need to have a garage sale. 

[John M. Brooke]

Is that an original wrought iron field carriage?

[Lt12pdr]

Very nice !

[emike123]

Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, the carriage is an original one.
