    When I was a child at my Grandmother's Ruth home who had chickens (1950s), Robbie the rooster attacted my older brother (he was maybe 5 yrs old). That night we ate Robbie. I assume the other chickens took note as there were never anymore assaults to us children.

    Thanks. I also have a GBD Rollagas directed flame that looks like it was made by Dunhill. It needs work, too.

    BoBs, wife and I are taking our granddaughter to the Big Apple for Spring Break. She want to see a Broadway play and other sites. I planning on going to Dunhill and Davidoff while there. Nat Sherman's, to my shock, closed shop. Are there other B&Ms worth seeking out? Appreciate any advice.

(Stupid, really, but they were colleagues and friends). Others, were gifts. Most date from the 50s. My wife...
