Maybe a tool gloat

A friend of mine was the local sales rep for a well known pneumatic tool company. He supplied Norm and TOH with lots free samples and was invited to several TOH parties. My friend gave me the pneumatic crown stapler that Norm used on many TOH episodes.

Does this qualify as a gloat or just a nice conversation piece?

I once stood in line in a bank where Donnie Osmand was in front of me. Does this qualify?????

NO I didn't ask for his autograph...

I've had trouble identifying one of the staplers Norm has used on The New Yankee Workshop. Can you tell me what brand and model number it is? Can you send me a digital image of it?

I'm serious. See the Norm's Tools section of my website to see how serious.

Thanks.

And, nice score.

Rumpty notes:

I once sat in a small airport (Roanoke, IIRC) and drank coffee next to Rick Nelson. I didn't know who he was until my now ex-wife told me. She was all atwitter when it struck her, but by that time her plane was loading.

I once had beers with Evil Kneivel(sp?) at a bar.

Most of the 'famous' musicians I've been involved with down through the years basically impressed me only with their obvious musical talent. However, I do have two entries in the "something to tell your grandkids" department. I sat across the aisle from, and had a lengthy conversation with, Mohammed Ali in the first class section of a nearly empty late night flight from Denver to Houston some years back and was verily impressed with the man himself. And George Foreman used to sit on the back of my pickup truck while I put shoes on his horses and would joke that he wouldn't want to fight me after seeing me wrestle with 1200 lb horses all day, especially when he found that I had once sparred one round with Cleveland Williams as part of a college boxing exhibition (he just played with me, gently, at about 1/10th speed). Both the former were/are true gentlemen in the finest sense and did not seem, in person, the "bigger than life" personas you read about.

It's a Senco Model MI. It's pretty old and looks like Norm got a lot of use out of it. I think my friend said it was the first pneumatic tool shown on TOH. I'll try to send you a picture.

My ex and I rode down in an elevator from the top of Rockefeller Center with Bon Crosby after his band had played at the Rainbow Room. We had a great discussion about the vocal group that was on his afternoon tv show in the mid 50s, the Modernaires with Paula Kelly.

I win! ...at being the oldest, anyway.

I think it's more of a neener than a gloat.

I helped put on one of his last stage appearances. My ex got my stereo system, covered with hundreds of backstage passes from most of the groups you listened to in the 60s and 70s. Found out up close and personal that Merle was one of the nicest guys that you'd ever want to meet and the Glen Campbell wasn't. Dave in Fairfax

Thanks. Got it. I know you never said anything about NYW, but I was hoping.... It's not one he used there. Must have been strictly on TOH.

I appreciate the effort.

ummm....back in the early early 70's, or maybe the late 60's, when I was just starting in radio....Wolfman Jack was in our radio station and did a stint on my show.....that was kinda cool. After that, some of the girls at school even talked to me!! :>)

Course he's dead now...wonder if it was my fault?

Whether these other goofs like it or not a free crown stapler is a gloat. That it once belonged to Norm does provide a little extra gloatyness to it.
