More Exclusives: "19th Century Kilt Pins + More"

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Yes, 19th... Typo

Hey, mods, any way we can change this typo in the thread title? It bugs me every time I see it! lol....

Normally I'm not a big fan of sword style pins simply because that is the majority of what I see. But, I must say that basket hilt one is really speaking to me. Too bad I'm starting to shrink out of my kilts (don't really expect a lot of sympathy on that one) and need to set aside money to hopefully get a new kilt more than a kilt pin.

What Daniel can't show you is the kilt pin that never made it on the sale page, because I snatched it up myself.... :-)

Hahaha! Nice one, Matt!

You know, Matt, a pic wouldn't go amiss here...

Cut the man some slack, Scott... He started working the Evil Sett, last night; life can't be easy for him, just now.

Shame on you, Matt, for not letting us bid it up.

"This stunning Victorian relic is only $100. Who will offer us $110?"

I'll take the anchor. My navy retirement is coming up next year so this is very fitting!

Done, Matt.

Sir Daniel, can you tell us anything more about the snuff mull? Size, condition, marks, that sort of thing.

First off, thanks for fixing my typo!!!!

Here's some useful pics of the snuff mull (really a smelling salts horn):

Just a quick note on the kilt pins shown on this thread…

During the recent holidays, my wife and I hopped in the car with our two lovely fox terriers and drove from Texas to Raleigh, North Carolina to visit our daughter and son-in-law. On the way, we stopped by the Scottish Tartan Museum in Franklin. This was my first visit to Franklin, NC and to the museum. I was very impressed with how clean the town is and how friendly the town folks are to outsiders. The Scottish Tartan Museum is fantastic. The history that has been captured is something else. I especially enjoyed the Scottish-Cherokee display that shows how the Scottish farmers in the area made friends with the native Cherokee people.

After reading this thread, I mentioned to my wife I would really, really like to get that pin as a symbol of my time I spent in the Navy and as a way for me to remember my father and grandfather who were both career military men and participated in WWI, WWII and the Korean war. Anyway, unbeknownst to me, while at the Scottish Tartan Museum, my beautiful and thoughtful wife purchased the naval anchor kilt pin for me. And, Christmas morning, opening up gifts, surprise, there it was!

So…the anchor kilt pin has it’s début on my Mackay Ancient in March at the North Texas Irish Festival in Dallas.

Wonderful story! Your wife's loving gesture sounds a lot like something my beautiful wife would do - we are lucky and blessed men indeed!

Wear your new pin proudly, and with honour!
