After dropping the lovely off at the airport this morning–she is headed to Orlando for a meat conference–Hunter and I drove down to Hyannis for an antique show. About 50 dealers were there, and there were one or two corkscrews. I got a flash from Maine, a cigar cutter/opener and an interesting apollinaris match striker. I passed on a champion bar screw missing the handle.

lovely lovely stuff!
