I own a few very old mercury thermomenters.(I like to collect all kinds

mercury will shine up old coins real good.(mercury is a liquid metal) I
haven't checked the old 1940s Honeywell thermostats on two of the walls
in my old house (house was built in 1947, it has asbestos shingles on
the outside walls) lately, but I think they have mercury switches.

I owned a Daisy pump action BB gun when I was a kid.I still remember
sometimes the pump slide (whatever it's called?) action catching the
palm of my left hand in that slide.It hurt too.

I have 4 or 5 Honeywell thermostats that I have collected and had replaced
with digital. The digitals can be had much cheaper though. The Home Depot wants $40
for the old clunker. I thought it was funny when i was checking out of The Home Depot,
fellow in front was buying 4 of these thermostats for $120. I kinda mentioned I had 5, but
would have been ruff to actually sell mine.

I still have my dads old Daisy slider.
