This is what I used several times in the Army, and it's a great can opener. Also read the interesting history of the name in the description. I bought 10 so I can keep one on my key chain, in my tool box, and in each car.

Yup-always came in C-rations along with a can of some kind of meat, a pack of 5 cigarettes, a biscuit or cracker of some sort, something sweet. -
I always traded the cigarettes for someone's candy bar.Comment

After using a P-38 for over 20 years....I 'grajatated' to better things to open cans with when I retired.....actually during Nam, we were using LRRP rations first.......dehydrated steak and spuds, etc etc"Bullshit and Brilliance Comes with Age and Experience"Comment

Thanks for stirring up my memory. Did you ever drink any of the milk that did not need refrigeration not powdered either,had to be the worst stuff I ever tasted. -
Tasteless white sewer water....IMO!!! The only thing worth eating in Cs, IMO, was the Butter Beans and Ham. You knew you had an old meal though when you opened up the peaches and everything inside was black!!! Actually the sleeping bags were renamed by those that had to eat C-Rations.....renamed....Fart Sacks!!!!

I was perusing through my book of Service Bulletins again today and stumbled across something rather interesting.
Henry suggested that when the points seemed to be dirty or corroded or in some way in need of a cleaning, that a whetstone be used to burnish the pads. Well, I was thinking to myself, since most of the folk I know that own a Model A might not even know what a whetstone is,...08-18-2017, 03:11 PM -
Hey Mitch!!!! An addition to ponder...."Culture during the Model A Era." for the Model A Forum that would include almost everything that also happened, worn, included, seen, heard during the Model A era??????? Members post old photos now, advertisements and newspaper articles....

Below is a photo of Earnest Hemingway, his mother and father, and his second wife Pauline who is quite pregnant. Photo taken in Key West in April, 1928. The Ford Model A was a present from Pauline's wealthy uncle, Gus. Earnest and Pauline had just arrived from Paris and were to be in Key West for only two days awaiting delivery of a "yellow 1928 Roadster." They were on their way to the...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Good day all. I am new to the Model A lifestyle. I recently purchased a 1928 AR Tudor that was, for the most part, restored. One issue I am trying to address is the key cylinder in the passenger door handle is seized in the handle. I made a key for it & the tumblers are free but the plug won't turn.
I shot it with PB Blaster a couple times a day for many days, I soaked it overnight in Coca...08-09-2017, 03:23 PM -

Looking at original tool bags I'm seeing the stitching is different from what a home sewing machine produces. It is more of a chain stich like on gunny sacks. I know I've heard the name of the stitch, but don't remember it.
The top stitches show the normal back side, the lower shows the normally visible stitch.
What is the name of the stitch?
What type of sewing machine...10-29-2018, 01:23 PM -
In addition to photos, keep a log of everything you do on your A: When and where you bought it; who you bought it from; what the mileage reading was; what you replace; what you repair; what you adjust; what you spend; date and mileage when you do service; where you buy a part. Everything. And always note the date and mileage of when you do it. I started doing this about 11 years ago. This is especially...08-27-2017, 11:02 AM -
I thought I would start a new thread on collectables where you can post a picture and someone can tell you exactly what you have. Plus it is fun to see what other people have found.
I can Google and find information on the Canadian buffalo radiator badges. They were used for Park Passes for their National parks, but I cannot find anything on my Yellowstone Badge....You do not have permission to view this gallery.
