A Box From Bath! :)

Tucked away in the lower left, I spied some Brickhouse smokes. May be the real coup here (well, except for the knife and the baseball). If you smoke, that is.

The baseball reminds me of Odysseus's winnowing oar!

I had a winnowing oar when I first got to Texas 35 years ago. Folks here, far from the sea, tend to think it used as a fan.....

No, no, no… if I'd have wanted to make that sort of dig, I'd have included one of these.

That is funny Barrett, although I don't know why I'm laughing I'm English too.

Great stuff, enjoy that beautiful knife Jack and the pearl (American slang for a new baseball) . Well done Barrett!

What a great gift, and a great act of generosity from a fine member.

I love American chocolate, but it's often considered to be inferior to European chocolate so you may not be too impressed depending on what you're used to.
Now if there had been a Reese's nutrageous bar in there it might make you wish you lived here in the states

Believe it or not, I didn't actually notice the beautiful knife there until you said to not look at it yet.

Great stuff gents

Jack, I'm glad that the package made it to you, and more importantly that you like its contents!

(There was one other coin in there -- an old wheat penny -- but it may have slipped out of that matchbox somewhere between Arizona and Leeds!)

...

No, no, no… if I'd have wanted to make that sort of dig, I'd have included one of these.

Thanks again Barrett, I have the penny now

LOL!

Love seeing post like this! Very thoughtful gifts! Enjoy your bounty!

Good show Barrett and congratulations Jack. Two of our very finest.

Thanks a lot guys

I think that's actually a matchbox my friend, unless it held very small smokes! Barrett filled it with US coins for me
