Just load them in you own putet in the picture  file..

On many forums you need an image hosting site unless you're a paying member, and on some one can have troubles trying to post a good useful full sized image.

It's a shame that most of the machines and tools are no longer made in the USA. And if it is made here, so many of the components are made overseas. The newer generation don't look at quality, rather price. That goes for kitchen utensils too. In 1965 I purchased a full set of Revere Ware pots and pans. That I have used them for every meal over sixty years,, and today they still look nearly new. And will sell today for what I paid.

That's why I love cast iron, but of course it's gotta be American iron.
I also love the 2 vintage CLUB cast aluminum sauce pans and lids that I inherited from my grandmother complete with their 1970's avocado green enamel finish.

For silverware I bought a complete vintage Silco set off of Ebay, because I can't afford to buy from liberty tableware and didn't want any made in " CHYNA ".

You expressed that most eloquently UB. My thoughts as well but expressed much better than I could.

The watermarks are not the worst thing in the world. I'm actually kinda surprised they're still around.

Sorry about the damn Photobucket watermarks on all my legacy pics. I refused to pay the ever increasing high prices to maintain a "link" account, and switched to a more reasonably priced basic account. The problem is that Photobucket now puts those annoying watermarks on all the picture in my library. That's the penalty for choosing the basic option.

A total rip-off, and I have switched to another provider, but since I have thousands of pics on Photobucket, this will have to do for now.

My apologies -- 

It's worth it- for sure.

I should have posted this when I first posted my reply. Randy was a valued part of this community for a very long time, he was with us through several crashes and resurrections and certainly one of those guys that one might call a core member, always there, always contributing interesting and relevant to the topic comments and posts. His involvement was so regular that it will take a very long time to sign in and not expect to see recent posts he made.
Speaking for our whole community I have say that his absence is a big blow to our community here and I know I speak for all of the membership when I say we are going to miss Randy and his contributions terribly.

Great vise -- I would have offered $150 and taken it home for $175. I don't need another vise, but that's good quality iron.
