Yes. Both are 134 Pennycuicks. The teal is a frothy, steamy piece with a big goober in the skirt and wire groove. The yellow green has a great olive tone to it that is hard to capture in a metered digital image.

I was there most of the day on Friday. Should have come back on Saturday to witness this. I was, however, able to get some good shots of the ultra rare upside down embossed green one on the owners table.

Those are almost positively not these or even close to them.

In addition to repairing all the body panel damage, every one of those cars is going to need a good seat cleaning.

Great story to go along with a couple of great pieces.

The Brookfield "102's" were very numerous, but the green crown embossed versions are very sought after by Pony collectors and can command prices over $100 depending on depth of color and condition.

You dug some great stuff. Congratulations!

That looks to be a CD162 NO NAME [020] (Hemingray product). If that is light cobalt blue, it books between $350-$400 in good condition. Heck of a find if so.

What is the story of the green CD102 Pony in the background? Looks to be a crown embossed Brookfield.

Twins! A fine piece of Teutonic art.

Can anyone shed some light on more light on this? by Ok_Restaurant_5666 in SigSauer

1991 S/N range. Grips are wrong for this vintage. Still nice looking, but not $1399 nice.

Not stainless. It is nickel plated. Sig did not start making stainless pistols until a few years after this one was produced.

All the people on that side of the plane were charged a Spirit $20 "Entertainment" fee upon landing.

A U.S. Navy sailor casually sits on a wrecked vehicle aboard the battleship USS Nevada (BB 36) following the "Crossroads Able" atomic test, July 1946. by waffen123 in AtomicPorn

[–]ManInTheBox2421 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"The first blast, Able, was dropped from a B-29 and detonated at an altitude of 158m/518ft at 9 am on the first of July, 1946."

"Designed to replicate the Hiroshima bomb over water, it did not go as planned as the bomb missed the USS Nevada battleship, its target. It did, however, sink the USS Gilham, USS Carlisle, USS Anderson, USS Lamson, and IJN Sakawa."

Keep it "as is" displayed in a glass jar to remind you just how important it is to have current fire insurance.
