Sept 23-24 2017 25th Annual Settler's Day Manville RI

An event I have attended and displayed at since 2003

Most of the posse have been getting involved with the Hurstwic combat and history group with a sidebar of sudden longbow practice. It will be interesting to see if the fellows put on some demonstration. We had a bit last year.

I generally have a mess of antiques and it is getting a little out of control. Adding some logistic issues this year, I will likely be cutting back on what I load out of storage. I need a plan, space and brain to continue my vice in some style. Maybe a non-profit org. The eagles likely and some reproductions. Knives, a plethora of EGW.

With some lead time, I will update any info or cancellations but I plan on at least a small table, or full blown. Life is uncertain. Let me know if one would like to participate in display. The club is wide open to any and all vendors/activity, just let them know. Lots of area(s) to set up. There is a regular blacksmith and reenactors, some camping out for the weekend.

Cheers

We're about a month out from this. If it is torrential rain, I may cancel or be inside. Sprinkles and showers outside but probably not set up with tables, just tailgating.

That said, we'll vote for a crisp, sunny, equinox weekend.

This is still a go for me but my partners from past years aren't going to show. As a result there will be less of the reproductions and my own load smaller. I will still have a good show of antiques with a couple of reproduction mortuary swords, along with some of the knives. So, mostly swords from about mid 18th century through the mid 19th century. I will be packing fewer of everything. The weather should be fine.

A belle to the ball this year is a sabre sold by the Wolfe family in NYC during the 1820s.

Also a hard find in adopting a highly polished Gilbreath folder to cuddle with the matte example I bought a long time ago.

The overall event there popular with the other activities up the range, etc. Stop by if you are near or just out in NE for a day trip.

Cheers
