Daisy Model 960

This is a Daisy Pop Gun. It's a Model 960. It was a gift from my wife Brenda for Christmas 2017.

She saw it at a flea market and had heard me talk about collecting vintage BB guns and cap guns enough that she got it for me. The funny thing is that it is not a BB Gun at all. Sure, it's made by Daisy, the famous BB Gun Maker, but it's just a Pop Gun.

It's a good thing. I coulda shot my eye out!

The Rams Head

I received this beauty from my wife as a birthday Gift one year.

As I type this, the Ram is directly over me, on the wall in my den above my desk.

She was once again shopping at a flea market and bought it as a gift and managed to keep it a secret and hidden for months.

--She LOVES me!

The Stereo Viewer

This Relic was a wonderful Christmas gift from my excellent wife Brenda one year.

I have a wonderful collection of antique stereo 3D photo cards.

I love them.

I have another viewer, the original one that I inherited along with my collection of cards. When Brenda saw that it was broken and repaired, it gave her the idea to buy me this gift.

--It is really beautiful. Just like her...

The Winged Bear

This Relic was given to me by my friend Leslie when she left Infodata. We worked together there for years. Lots of Movie nights and campouts and beers!!

It is very incongruous in the den on shelves full of odd looking, often kinda creepy Relics.

I think of her when I see the bear.

That is a general theme with with the Relics in my collection. A memory trigger.

--That or their Arcane Magical Powers!
