November Richmond 2016 This Weekend!
« on: November 06, 2016, 02:51:39 PM »
Hello,

The 2016 Richmond Show is about on us as it'll be this weekend (11/12 thru 11/13).  I know a number of forumites will be attending including Mike and myself.  We downsized to one table this year but it will be piled high with a good variety of great items.  If you have any cleaning or inerting that needs done this is a good time to deliver.  I hope if you can make the show that you can drop by and say howdy.  It is always good to talk to everyone.
Best,
Carl

I am pleased to say we will have a new location this year at Jack Bell's former table in the middle of the show hall.  I won't be there long  8) so please stop by first and say hello!

Excellent show with lots of sales and a few acquisitions.  I picked up an Archer fuse which is the exact one shown as #21 in M&M.  I also got a 7in mill base Brooke and the original box it came in.  :P

The show is still going and I left midday yesterday.  Saw lots of forumites and apologies if I neglect to list any, but these included the David W, David K., Pete, Carl, Steve Sylvia, and David P.

Just got home!  Long drive but worth it.  Great weather and great company.  I had good sales and picked up a few things.  My best pick up was a 3-inch Brooke shell that has been living for a number of years in the Richmond area but was originally found near my house having been fired from the Kennesaw Mountain lines.   Was good to bring it back home!  I also picked up a 13-inch Rev War mortar embossed with "Trelon" and the fleur-de-lis.  It was one of those found in a river dumping near Yorktown.  it is nice in that it nearly has both big lifting handles on it; one is complete while the other is missing about 1 inch. 
Best,
Carl
