WOW.....

... nice collection .... My ex-wife parents parents brought the left and center one from Ireland in around 1890 and the right one is from Gemany in 1970 and is marked "orginal" on bottom .

BH73 ... That's quite a collection. I curious as to how long have you been collecting?

Terry_P · 01-21-2012, 07:23 AM

I never knew that stuff existed. Quite an impressive collection.

TGR:

I bet there are a few stories associated with those mugs.

Thanx! I only started collecting the memorabilia a few years ago. Got to where I had all the firearms I had on the "list" and this stuff was just naturally calling to me. Some common, some very uncommon. At the point now where what I'm lacking is the $$$ stuff. A few of the plates are prototype/sample proofs which is linda cool.

Have added some more since these were taken, including a copy of Ruger and His Guns signed by Bill Ruger.

@ TN Gun Runner - my father brought back a bunch of German steins when I came back from being stationed there. Like yours, VERY fine artwork of them.

Real nice BlkHawk73,

I have quite a stash of Ruger memorabilia myself all packed away in boxes. I haven't bought any lately I have enough taking up space.

I have two autographed Ruger and His Guns books signed by WBR.

If I'm not mistaken I bought a ceramic mug or two from you some years back. Keep up the good work.

@Redhawk...anything you see missing that you have? Looking for a few mugs and ashtrays I lack.

I hear ya on the space thing. Hopefully the vault will start moving forward and I'll have room for the rest.

I can't really say without going through my stuff. I've moved twice and never unpacked it. I have a couple of the Zippo 50th annversary lighters. I have an original 1949 Ruger order form with the original envelope for the Standard 22 pistol. I have some old patches,playing cards, matches. All kinds of older stuff. I have a never released owner manual for the XGI that never came to be. I have some glassware, ceramic mugs. I have 3 or 4 of the ashtrays but I see you have the same one. I got some of it from a guy who used to work for Ruger in NH. I have a couple newspapers with WBR's Obit. I was buying allot of that stuff 10+ years ago.
