One hundred and twenty years ago today.  Damn coal dust.

A sad, misunderstood, and tragic accident.

This is REALLY carping, but I believe the display photos should rightfully be credited to "The Hotchkiss Guru", my good friend Jim Curlovic. I know that if someone posted pictures of my display I would expect the same.

Dick, you are right and correct, the last three pictures were part of a beautiful 'award winning' display, that Jim Curlovic exhibited, several years ago at the Michigan Antique Arm Collector's Show.

Jim very generously gave permission for me to take photos of his display (and him) with the intent they be posted on the KCA Forum.

(Full credit was given, when I posted photos of Jim's display on the KCA Forum in 2014).

Today, I got lazy and was overly focused on the U.S.S. Maine. The 'label' on my photos did not do justice or give adequate credit to Mr. Curlovic.

Attached: A photo of a fine gentleman, Mr. Jim Curlovic and his 'Display Award'. Mr. Curlovic, is generous with his knowledge and shares his fine collection with fellow enthusiasts.

I was fortunate enough to meet and talk to him as well at that Show.  Fascinating man and display!!!
