So, is there interest in doing an event of this type?

Tell me the date and I'll start organizing a carpool from the West Coast. ;-)

If you come through colorado give me a holler, if I could get away I'd like to come. Never been there but the place looks amazing!!

I'll keep it in mind, but we'd likely take I-40 To OK City and then head North through Wichita.

Experience has shown that I can leave here after work and be in Kansas City the next morning at 8:30 am for visiting hours at the hospital where my daughter was born. Of course it requires a new rental car that needs to be broken in and that Highway Patrol officers be elsewhere during the trip. ;-)

Just uploaded a bunch of pictures from when I went to see the Arabia Museum. Here's the link to the album:

Enjoy! :)

Re: Steamboat Arabia - Everything you want to know!

I missed this topic when first posted I reckon.

Very Nice pictures! :)

I was pleased to see a bottle in the pictures that looks to be a twin of one I got at a local antique shop recently. I never know when to trust the dealer as to the real age of something like that, and I am no expert about mid 1800's bottles. Once I truly see something, I can recognize small details later, or know what to look for in reproductions.

I need to take a trip. KC ain't that far.

Thanks for bumping this one Anna :)

Great pictures! Love all the jeweled china buttons... Those seem really hard to find at all these days.

Re: Steamboat Arabia - Everything you want to know!

Greetings Rick,

I'm sorry to be a little late responding to this thread but I almost fell out of my chair when I read that the "brownish" shirt described in the Arabia collection started its life as a green striped shirt !!

Are we taking about the shirt with the shield shaped plastron and the multitide of naval buttons? I first saw it years ago and having recently visited the museum,was a little dissapointed to find it removed. I would love to see pictures detailing the look of the original fabric.

Just a side note but it was great to hear Greg Hawley say that the Museum was finally running in the Black !!!

Yours,
Jim Miller

Re: Steamboat Arabia - Everything you want to know!

I would LOVE to get in on a trip to see the behinde the scenes stuff there...
Livign only 2 hours south of KC ive been to the Arabia about 4 or 5 times but everytime ive learned/seen something new.

Re: Steamboat Arabia - Everything you want to know!

Rick provided me with a first rate tour of the museum last week. As the comments and photographs suggest, the collection is more than amazing. I would love to see more items such as these in our hobby.
Where are my photographs? You all will certainly understand my disappointment when I state that my camera malfunctioned (with no chances of correction) that afternoon.
Thanks to Rick for a great visit!

Don't bother with Hertz and the new mustangs, they have the governor screwed down to 98.... uh, so they tell me. That was NOT me testing that theory in Nevada, I swear it wasn't..
And the traction control is locked on too... again, so I hear...

Steamboat, is there any tang marks on the pocket knives? They are a particular addiction of mine
