Nice Gift

(1/3) > >>

mullet:
I had a very good friend give me this last weekend. 5 lbs of 3F. He said a very old gentleman gave him 5 of these.

Pat B:
That should last you a while unless you have plans for something special.  ;)

Trapper Rob:
Bet that put a smile on your face Eddie.

Eric Krewson:
Curtis and Harvey was an English powder that got rave reviews until the early seventies when the quality went down from earlier productions. Some say it was repurposed blasting powder at this point and was imported from Spain instead of being produced in England like it had been for about 100 years.

The bottom line it will go bang just fine but might shoot a little dirty.

mullet:
The best I can tell, Eric, is this batch is from the mid Twenties. I was reading it got inconsistent when Nobel and then DuPont bought it out and like you said was repurposed Blasting Powder. And I thought all BP was dirty. :)
