Period bottled, canned and boxed goods. What else?

[Pancho Peacemaker]

Boots.

Better quality, more comforatable insole.  More variety of period correct styles.

I know you can get all of this with a custom boot maker, but I'd like to see more off-the-shelf options.

A square tubed, hot blast lantern.

Actually there is one being produced.  It is $ 189.00.

  Merwin & Hulbert pocket army (open top model) Skull crusher grip, of course

[Mogorilla]

I would love to see a Manhatten Navy replica just because I like the grip better than the colt navy.  I would really love a cooper double action percussion as well. 

[Delmonico]

Good cast iron spyders in several sizes.

It aint cheap, but this Scottish company sells a nice mechanical pocket watch:

I lucked into one of these used on Ebay and it's a real nice time piece.

Older pocket watches abound in antique malls and at antique shows - try there, first.

Once cleaned and oiled properly - they're as good as new - even the really old ones.

The one I carry is a 'lever-set transitional' made in 1884 - it keeps better time than my Rolex.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

Over the years I have tried to buy up  all the old Dollar pocket watches I have run across. i have some old ones that run fine some for parts and a few brand new that have never been wound.You used to see them on display cards in stores when I as a kid. They worked fine and when they quit you could just buy another one.
I will sell some of the ones I have but not for a Dollar. I'd take $35 to $50  for them plus shipping.

I would have to agree with Trap.....

Just bought this particular one for my father on his birthday:

I'm fairly certain these are the same maker but have the River Junction Trade Company logo on the watch face. Always nice to support a cowboy vendor:

[WaddWatsonEllis]

A pepperbox or pepperbox kit that actually advances the cylinder on its own ...

[Tascosa Joe]

I 2nd the USFA 73 Winchester, although I would venture a guess that it would cost at least $2K.
