B25Modelman Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Heart Line: you are emotionally open and especially affectionate. Life Line: you need to take better care of yourself, get more rest and look after your emotional and physical needs. Head Line: You are a bit more reserved and cautious. Ring: It needs polishing. General cleanliness: wear gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 The ring is tungsten carbide & not easy to polish but you are right, it is a bit dull. Gloves? Yes, I agree. The rest is ********. Accurate, admittedly, but otherwise ******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1066 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was born and raised out in the sticks, about 1/4 mile from where Spandit lives - There were very few kids about in the local area in the 1950's, maybe half a dozen and cap guns is something every kid had. I remember various cowboy Colt revolver look-a-likes (1873)and a pirates percussion pistol but none used the plastic rings - I think these were a fair bit later. Our caps were 1d a roll, about 100 shots on a roll, light green in colour or occasionally red. The also came in a paper tube of a dozen rolls. Occasionally also had a small cardboard with individual round caps. Takes me back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 If you were 'tough' you would scrape a fingernail along a strip of caps, rest of us used to bash whole reels of the things with stones to see how many would go off at once--- oh what a happy childhood I had, hope my boys will be as happy, two year old is already climbing ladders to join me on the roof today much to 'mums' delight :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyflier Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Oh the memories 1066 and Jaymo have just conjured up from my childhood, scraping a fingernail along the cap strip........the smell and the horrible stain on your nail . My pocket money would never stretch to the red caps on a roll, but were apparently louder....... I never did find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 We'd keep the caps in the cardboard roll/pack then find the biggest hammer we could to see how many we could set off with one blow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
