And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A vintage Bell & Howell Filmo 75 16mm movie camera. It was produced by Bell & Howell in Chicago, 1928.
Carbide or diamond tip awls. I had an uncle that used to make BBQ guns - pistols with fancy scroll work and carvings. He did a derringer for me. It is a 45 Colt and is only good for one shot. Too much caliber for a follow up shot. A safe queen.
From a time when people didn't just make things, they crafted them.
ReplyDeleteHow was all that tooling on the case accomplished?
