My sisters tell me that I am the easiest man in the world to buy a present for.
If it shakes, or rattles, or rolls, Tom’s gonna Love it, and play with it.

I’m workin’ on it...
can only say..whoa, dude!
Tools...yeah, I know. That's why wives always ask, "What took you so long in the hardware store?" Even if you don't buy anything, you dang well look!
Then I better say it again! "Whoa...dude!"This has been going on for 40 years..
This is a 1905-1911 era Gustav Stickley 354 1/2 V-Back arm chair, alongside a 1912-1916 era Gustav Stickley 819 sideboard.

Another Victorian era table lamp, also attributed to Bradley & Hubbard. Copper base with copper and multi-colored slag glass shade. This shade may have also been used on era oil lamps. Note the trés cool A&C details on the base and shaft.

What we have here is the 354 1/2 V-Back arm chair next to a same era (1905-1911) Gustav Stickley 604 lamp/tea table with a Bradley & Hubbard A&C era table lamp with bronze and slag glass shade. I am not certain what the base's material is, probably bronze, but the floral design on the base is very much in the classic Arts & Craft vein.

Just got into collecting fragrances. Got into watches for a while but that was a bit too expensive as a hobby 
Before that, I've been a long-time philatelist and collector of coins/currency.

Where’s my money, you pig!
If I had know that I could have sent you the vintage 4 of Spades we found inside the fireplace during our living room renovation. It was in perfect condition, and probably from the '40s or '50s.
Would you be interested in some used and drilled casino cards from Louisiana? I might be able to get some for you.
Hmmm...
I tried to get a LA casino to give me a few packs of used cards that I could use in my 2nd grade classroom.
No Dice!
(...see what I did there?!
)
I worked, well, I was pn the payroll, in a casino for 21 years. They sold used cards in the gift shop. I think they still do. I know the pit bosses and shift supervisors so they can probably get some for me.Hmmm...
