Oldest Possestions you still use...not automotive

[NWFRS]

My favorite wristwatch for dinners out and social events is a 1957 Hamilton Stom King V.

My backup trap-gun is a 1939 Winchester model 12.

That's about it. I was born in 1983 so I haven't been around long enough to be nostalgic about anything from my youth. I like things that just work.

I have several old guns. One is a 1929 Browning Auto-5 like brand new, but don't use it, so guess doesn't qualify. Hope to use it some in retirement. I want to get back into sporting clays and maybe duck hunt a day or two a year. Most of the time used my Benelli Super Black Eagle for clays and ducks.

Sweet...The Auto-5 was the first successful simi-auto loading shotgun...first one built in 1898 and continued production till 1998...it was a John Browning creation.

All the guns he had a hand in creating...the Colt 1911 .45, 9mm Browning High Power Pistol, & to think that the M2 50cal machine gun that he started designing in 1918 has been in the arsenal of the US Army since 1933 and continues to this day...I just acquired an example of one of his last designs...a John Browning Superpose made in the early 1930's...16ga built in Suhl Germany by Kreighoff...Dural (aluminum) frame weighing in right at six pounds...leading edge tech stuff in the 30's & good to hump over hill and dale looking for grouse

What is a Superpose you ask? We know it as an over an under double barrel shotgun...John Browning was the first to start working on this arrangement in the 1880's, but, it was one of the last designs he completed before his death in 1926...Note the trigger guard thickness...that is an addition by Kreighoff...carved out of horn...when you are in sub-freezing temperatures...unlike a metal trigger guard your warm moist exposed trigger finger will not stick to horn.

My understanding is that they made fewer than 2000 units between 1882 and 1886 when they were bought by Bannerman, who began producing what we now call the Spencer-Bannerman.

Whenever I visit my grandmother I play duckhunt on the NES or MegaMan X on the SNES on one of those tube TVs with the 13 channel dial.
