Got the watch and fountain pen, the Speed Graphic camera is sadly missing.
Whew!! I remember the days when I tried to destroy my lungs with Non-Filter Menthol Lucky Strikes in the Navy! Those where some nasty things but I never did have anyone bug me asking to bump one. I only smoked in the Navy because we all heard second hand smoke was worse so I figure I may as well have 1st hand smoke. I quit cold turkey about 20 years ago thank goodness. Have never wanted one since but I will enjoy a cigar around a campfire.
Job I had a few companies back I was constantly bugged by the sales manager for a "hand held" device or "tablet" to be able to take notes in the field for his team. I bought a dozen of these and handed them out.

Holy Cow! I remember drinking quarts of Schlitz Malt Liquor when I was a teenager... it was dirt cheap, lol.
P.S. Look at the gal, all dressed up like an airline stewardess to bring the amateur radio man a bottle of Schlitz, lol...

So you got Schlitz faced?
I did more than that... I blew chowder on multiple occasions, lol. I still liked Schlitz, it was an "acquired taste."
I had an alternate name for Schlitz. Sounded similar.
