  • Letter Carriers' Uniform: Hats, Introduction
    Letter Carriers’ Uniform: Hats, Introduction In 1868 the Postmaster General listed a cap as the letter carrier’s uniform headgear. It was to be made of the same material as the coat, bound round with a black cloth band 1 1/2 inches wide, and have small buttons at the sides. In 1873, panama hats were authorized for summer. In 1887, numbered badges were added to the carriers' headwear, and helmets were approved for use. Helmets were short-brimmed with a tall crown, similar to British bobby helmets. In 1893, the more general straw hat replaced the panama hat as allowable summer headgear. By 1901, a western-style hat appeared, with a stiff crown and wide brim. Though never described in the Postal Laws and Regulations, photographs indicate this cowboy-style hat was standard wear at some Post Offices. From 1902 through 1948, postal regulations listed the hat, cap or helmet as acceptable carrier headwear. Uniform manufacturers advertised many variations in headgear style. The bobby-style helmet was last advertised in The Postal Record in 1907; in 1949, the safari-style helmet ws first pictured. Although carriers at each Post Office were to dress uniformly, photographs indicate that this was not always enforced. In 1955, only the helmet and cap were listed as acceptable headgear. The helmet was specified for summer; it was made of molded fiber in a blue-gray cadet shade and had a maroon chinstrap. The cap was a blue-gray eight-point style cap with braid the same color as the cap and a maroon chin strap.

One hundred and fi fty years ago, the people of this island created a unique cloth, a tweed woven entirely by hand that was to become world famous. Today, it is known simply as Harris Tweed. To this day, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament. It must be “made with 100% pure virgin wool, dyed, spun and fi nished in the Outer Hebrides and woven by hand by the Islanders in their homes on the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra.” Harris Tweed production is monitored on a daily basis and all fabric is inspected and approved before being stamped with their trademark. No other fabric can call itself Harris Tweed, just as no other cap can call itself Stormy Kromer. We are proud to bring you this unique collection of products which combines the history and tradition of two legendary brands from either side of the Atlantic.

  • Great Plains Rifle
    Lyman® Dear Black Powder Shooter: Congratulations on purchasing your new Lyman Black Powder Gun. All of our black powder products are the result of extensive thought and testing. With proper care, your new gun should bring you a lifetime of shooting pleasure. Before firing your gun, there are a few precautions that should be followed. Please read these instructions carefully. 1. If your new rifle is a flintlock, we have function tested the lock assembly, flint and frizzen to ensure that it provides proper ignition. Therefore, please do not be concerned with the resulting marks on the frizzen–it is simply a reminder of our comprehensive factory inspection. 2. The barrel's bore contains a heavy duty preservative that may resemble rusty oil. It is not rust! This preservative must be thoroughly removed before firing to obtain maximum accuracy. Directions: A. Swab the bore with some form of solvent or penetrating oil (example: WD-40 or Hoppe's #9). Let soak overnight. B. Brush out the following day using a nylon brush wrapped with 00 steel wool or a brass brush (must be under bore diameter to prevent bristles from jamming at the breech of the barrel). C. Wipe out using soft flannel (avoid t-shirt material–it doesn't work well using cleaning jag and has a tendency to stay down the bore). The brass coloration you see is normal after cleaning. 3. The stock has been stained with oil leaving a dull finish. As with all oil finished stocks, rubbing in additional thin coats of oil (Linseed or Birchwood Casey's Tru-Oil) will further enhance the finish and protect the stock.
