Texas online here!
« on: May 12, 2013, 09:57:58 PM »
Just stumbled across this forum.  WOW!  To think of all those years I've been thinking' "somebody ought to do this..."
I got here by Googling on Diamalloy KC-18 (which I found yesterday)!
Now got a bunch of old wrenches from the turn of the century (last), some of which were used in the construction of the Panama Canal; inherited from my late father-in-law.  At last I can figure out who made them!
Gonna enjoy this!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.  I jumped in to the Whatsit forum and immediately had a couple of items identified.  This is fun.

Hope y'all been checking out some of the things I'm throwing out on the Whazzit forum.  We need more answers as some coming are stranger, (if I can find 'em).
AH yes, Gun Barrel City.  That's the faint glow west of 175 at night!
Y'all be good now!
