Muffy,
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photo. Do you remember the type of pipe tobacco your father smoked?
Thanks,
Al
50 cents says it was Edgeworth !
ReplyDeleteThe thermos, was most likely made in Norwich Conn. The sturdy sweater was a knit, no? Look at those sleeves. I’d bet it was hand made. The pipe, was it from the Owl Shop? And that chapeau...? It looks like it came over on the Mayflower.
ReplyDeleteLl Bean Crusher
ReplyDeleteThe picture evokes how wonderful it must have been to be there--hence the big grin on his face--the mournful cry of loons, the rustling along the banks of moose, the splash of a nearby salmon....I can imagine how idyllic it must have been...complete peace and serenity.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice Submariner on the wrist too...
ReplyDeleteMuch to like and appreciate in this photo, definitely including that Submariner.
DeleteNice gunwales.
ReplyDeletebet that was a great canoe
DeletePerfection to be sure! I must confess, my Owl Shop pipes, Bean Crusher hat, Submariner, and old Thermos still do their job exactly the way they were meant to! Thank you for everything!
ReplyDeleteAgree. I thought submariner immediately as well. It is a near indestructible watch.
ReplyDeleteAs I read this I was about to call out the LL Bean Crusher (can't believe others remember it!), the Rolex Submariner and sweater but it is all covered by loyal and obviously infomed readers. The post and the comments made me smile! Imagine how simple all these accoutrements are; no need to recharge, fiddle with buttons and screens - just solid, multi-generational, rugged goods that are excellent examples of the KISS principle!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall the last time I saw someone smoking a pipe.
ReplyDeleteIs he in the bow of a Grand Laker? Which pond?
ReplyDeleteSecond Roach
DeleteI have some old college friends who are known for dragging their canoe across the ice to get to open water here in Maine.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic.
