As I was reading the cartridges line up on my phone I snapped this one of my desk. Now what cartridges are these?

Hey, I'm in, though you are making it rather challenging OS: -- I think Joe's ??? and ??? are maybe 338 Mag and 325WSM. Are we closing in?

They are empty cartridges... My guess is 45-70, 308, 338 Win or 330 Dakota, and a WSM that I don't know anything about. And the last one looks like an AI, maybe a 30-30 ? or possibly a 7.65? Now you can tell that those were just guesses...
OS, that is a pretty good picture from your phone.

Joe's guesses are right and so is the 338 Mag. You know Earl - I just turned to my right and shot the pic - no attempt to set it up at all.

Free drink for the first or any to identify the object behind the desk pen.

All I know is that a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind. Good to see that you're still "real"!

The last one is a 303 British? Wow... I didn't remember them looking exactly like that... but that was 45 years ago and carried it for two seasons.
As for the glass, it is currently a desktop paperweight... Its prior life was spent upon the ocean waters, scattering light for those below...
A deck prism.
Sheesh, these guys are given you a rough time... LOL

Pitchy, that is the golf ball that Indianagirl used in Las Vegas - maybe the day she captured this indian.

Now you wanting me to go look into my crystal ball to see what ship it had been on? LOL
mmm what ships could it be from.. maybe the Essex.. the whaling ship that inspired the novel Moby Dick.
or from the Central America that was hauling 30,000 pounds of Gold when she sank with 400 aboard in a hurricane...
Or maybe even the Ghost ship Mary Celeste, found under full sail with no one on board...
Most likely from some old wooden sailing ship that was salvaged at some point in time..

Very close the first time - it is from a whaling ship.

OS, Do you have any more history on that piece of glass?
That is a neat piece of glass, specially if it is the genuine article and not one of the newer repilications...
Wonder what it was like to be in a cabin where one of them were in use in that time period.

Post by **Old Savage** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:48 pm

It is a reproduction but by the Smithsonian I think - a clue - you can actually I believe still experience what you said.

A room with rough and yardy sailors and rum on the table with them smoken their pipes and playn cards or carvin some ivory or readin a book or even writing their tales of visiting far off lands...

It is from the Charles W. Morgan which is in Mystic Seaport. 40 some years ago when I was there I think they were still sailing with passengers up the coast.
