Well those are the highlights hope you like them.
 
There's going to be a lot of guys over here
drooling over those cobs, especially the corn dogs!
Great collection, really nice!
 
Pretty nice collection, I have not seen so many variations of the good old corn cob before, thanks!
 
That's an awesome collection, brother! I'm glad someone else is showing off their corn dogs. (Keenum's starting to whine whenever I show mine. :lol: )
Is that a leather-clad cob in pic #6? I've never even heard of that. Too cool!
 
That is in fact a leather clad cob I had to call MM to look it up in some old catalogs to make sure it was genuine.
 
Wow lifeon2, that is a fantastic cob collection you have there! You have really upped the standards around here, as I have never seen any of the BoB brothers post such a varied collection. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
 
Thanks guys it has really been a labor of love well and money ok mostly money and heavy duty pad attacks
 
Very nice collection, i had no idea cobs were made so many differant ways over the years.
 
That is by far the nicest collection of cobs i've ever seen, bar none. Thanks for posting.
 
Heck! I'm just relieved to see there's one from my own collection that you don't have yet. :twisted:
(and I ain't tellin' what it is)
 
I might have it after all there are about 50 more that I didnt post :) of course everything unusual and groovy is represented in the pics allready :cry:

:lol!: Don't get me wrong, sir. I'm truly impressed by your collection. I did recently pick up a little oddity, the likes of which I've never seen. I'll post a pick soon enough, but not in your thread. This one's all you, bro. Bask in the glory. 8)
 
Just joining the herd--great, great collection.

I've never thought of bamboo shanks on a cob--it works very well. Gonna have to keep that in mind if my cobs ever need a shank overhaul! I'm imagining one of the darker finishes on the Country Gentleman looking pretty sweet with black bamboo...

...and now my mind is spinning with concepts of "Pimp My Cob." :scratch:

Can't WAIT until one year when "corn dogs" will be available again. :cheers:
