Today was the Town-wide Yard Sale. I reluctantly went along with the Frau to check out the deals. I ended up at a garage with lots of G.I. stuff and the sellers had not a clue what stuff was.

My best find was a shoe-box full of "clips" for 25-cents each. I bought all 30 nicely blued, rust free, WWII Thompson SMG Magazine loading tools. At the last gun show these mag loading tools in Grade III (rusty) condition were $5 each. I will pay $10 for a table at the next gun show. I also got 10,000 new, blue .45 ACP Half Moon clips for a pittance. I have seen them for 50 cents each at the last gun show. Oh, What a Country.
