Jeff Balazs Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 One of my favorite too. Lots of great laughs and a glimpse of a truly interesting character. Got to love his conviction. When it first came out my folks had just moved into a retirement home. On Saturday evenings they had movie night in a large auditorium. My Dad asked me to get involved with the movie selection and find something that the old folks would really enjoy instead of the mundane stuff they got from the staff. Now you have to picture a room full of very proper little old blue haired ladies and a few old gents sitting down to what was usually nap time.....and you will have an idea of the crowd. On this particular evening everyone stayed up and laughed through the whole show. It was a big hit and got put on the regular play list. Who would have guessed? Jeff 2 Quote

Don Coatney Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Does it have Rizuto Estilleto stamped on it? Nope. This came from south America San Salvador, El Salvador 1968. Most likely a copy. Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Nope. This came from south America San Salvador, El Salvador 1968. Most likely a copy. As a youngster I bought one in the free port Ensenada back in the 60's. A fairly large one (6"-7") and the only one they had with a green handle. My Dad had a friend whose family owned about half the town back in those days. It was always fun when he would take us around to the various shops. As I remember Mom confiscated it shortly after our return home. I will have to look through her belongings to see if it still exists. Jeff Quote
55 Fargo Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 The aforementioned movie is one of my favorites worth watching more than once. In 1969 when I hauled my new BSA 3 banger to race at Bonneville one of the highlights of the trip was to meet Burt Monro. I have shaken his hand and touched his Indian. I highly recommend the movie. Anthony Hopkins plays the role of Burt and has it down pat. So what kind of speeds did you run, time etc, you should post any old receipts or pictures of that week be interesting to see. Did you get any pics of you and Mr Munro? Quote
RobertKB Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Not in a truck but here is mine for my '38 Chrysler. It did not have a shifter knob when I got the car and they were fancy and unique to the Chrysler and I have never found one. Edited September 7, 2015 by RobertKB 3 Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Could Here is one I just finished turning for my truck. I got a little bit of a cowboy and indian theme going on. Jeff Super job! Could you make one with my Scottish looking face in it? Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 CouldSuper job! Could you make one with my Scottish looking face in it? If you send me a coin with your scottish looking face stamped on it. That is just an old buffalo nickel epoxied into a recess in mine. I had a hard time choosing which side to face up as they are both so iconic. Iron Eyes Cody won but the Buffalo is way cool too. What a great american design........just like the truck it is going in to. Quote
