    Default If this thing could talk....


    This is my grandfathers old cricket container. Knowing the kind of guy he was and how much he liked his beer I'd bet if it could talk it would have some great stories. Being a single guy and not having to answer to anyone I keep it on an endtable in my living room with a few other old keep sakes.

    Yes Sir, It looks to be homemade, with some plywood, some corner round and a soup can. No wonder it lasted so long

    Was that like 1920?, They probably didn't even have crickets way back then

    Make them big like that so later on you put you cataba worms in too . Course he probably caught his own crickets .
