I have a little pen knife that belonged to my grandfather. He was born around 1900, I think. He joined the army and managed to get to France just before the Armistice in 1918.
I'd share a pic, but it's packed away somewhere. About 2-1/2" closed. Something every kid carried back then, and no one...
A friend in my local pub makes aged eggnog. I think she once told me she's aged it for up to 2 or 3 years? I'll have to ask her next time we meet.

We have them in WA state, both national and state parks. They might pull them during fire season. Also in the city park 1/2 mile from me. I remember we burned some hot dogs in one of those when my son was playing Little League.
