	any idea on the age or make of what remains of that handgun on the shelf?

That is a toy gun. I am sure it is the oldest
I have fornd. It looks it anyway.

It is better made than any cap gun I have
ever seen. It had a long strait trigger spring
like a real revolver. If that spring had not
rusted, it would still work.

I am gonna risk looking stupid and say turn
of tha century.

	Tabdog; Do you mind describing how you got the stove trivet from state A to state B.  That is an incredible transformation!

Na, I dont mind.

Lookie here,



I start off with tha wire brush on a 6" grinder. I get
all I can with that.

Then there is stuff I can get off with a screw driver,
and maybe have ta hit tha screw driver with a hammer
a little.

I get all I can with tha small brushes on a 3/8ths inch
drill.

Then use a round file, and and a triangle file. Then
clean it up with wire brushes.

Nerver got all tha crud off. But I got a nice wall
hanger,
