Hey, thanks for the e-bay tip on the lighter. I gave it a shot, and got it. Hope I didn't sneak it out from under one of you guys. Will let you know if it's authentic when I see it.

Congrats, Jim! Glad to know a deserving guy got it, instead of just John Q. Collector!

I bid on it today. Would be nice to have as I lost mine in a wharehouse fire.

I got the lighter 2 weeks ago. A little road worn, but then so was my old one. Now if only I could find a ships belt buckle....

Ya know, thats one of the few Cochrane things I have left, one of the Cochrane buckles, with the cast DDG attatched to it. I would be curious to find out what you have to pay for one if you find one, Larry!The only other Cochrane thing I have is a ships plack.Sorry, Larry, but mine isnt for sale. Know you understand! Take care, sir, , and dont let the paperwork win out there in El Pisso! [
