Down the Cellar 46 - Three Drink Minimum

Guest starring Debbie B, and quite a bit more booze than usual.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you who take the time to watch DtC, and am very grateful to everyone who takes more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world there would be endless time for either Tom or Ob to engage with everyone, but alas the world is far from perfect.
FAQ & A
Q: I have a burning question about something in the video! What should I do?!
A: An email sent directly to Tom is the best way to get your question answered, because while he most definitely reads each and every one of your comments, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in the comment section, and is not likely to in the foreseeable future. Or ever.
Q: I have a amusing anecdote, scathing criticism, or heartfelt compliment that I deeply need to express and I require / demand / long for a personalized response! What should I do?!
A: See "A" above.
Tom's email is: [e-mail]

Drinking, smoking and gambling. this is getting better and better, a great episode with Debbie and Charlie, the highlight of the week 🙂 Greetz from Belgium from a Dutchman !

[@johnzeszut3170]

Yes - I unbox purchases (when I can afford them) in the basement out of sight of the wife in the event there is disappointment and the advice "Send it back.". Jim Beam and I have reviewed many of Tom's offerings.

[@davidthompson62]

Thomas; For what you have taught us all about collecting; CHEERS!, have yourself a fourth Imperial!…and the hell with the haters! Show those marvelous flags! Those last three daggers have knocked it out of the ballpark for me. Can you imagine how skilled a craftsman and the time involved to create such a beautiful piece? They must have been pricey even when they where new. I’ve never seen one in such fabulous condition, forget three. Price them out of the ballpark because there worth every penny. A premium should be attached to each of them. You may never see a finer one in your lifetime.

[@lynnstinson1254]

Another fantastic video. Keep up the drinking and cigars...it makes us feel like we're gathering with the master of militaria. Keep teaching us, Professor.

[@johnburrows1179]

Watching from Florida Tom. I love these DTC series, don’t ever stop or change a thing. It’s like Christmas morning watching you open each box wondering what’s inside. All the best to you and yours

[@Paranormal-Alien]

My GF and I love watching you and listening to your stories please don't ever stop drinking and smoking and unboxing, my GF went and bought me brand new crystal rock glasses to drink with you and I have ordered my de nobiles hilarious

[@DavidHuber63]

[@freikorpsdanmark]

P H on the SS sword , Maybe Paul Hausser ?

[@johnlawson2984]

Other contenders: Peter Hansen, WSS, Paul Hennicke, Dr. Phillip Hofmann. Without an SS # or other identifier it’s just a guess.

[@markjg2275]

Today as I write it is September 1, on this Day Poland was invaded 1939 and the start of WW2. May we remember all the brave heroic Polish army soldiers and the many battles fought against fascism tyranny . My Grandfather was in the Polish 3rd horse artillery in September 1939 using the towed 75mm artillery against German tanks. The Polish army fought very well from the battle of Mokra , Westerplatte and other battles in 1939 and I have great respect for the Polish army and people who always fought to be free throughout history. I own Polish militaria because I am Polish, so it means a lot to me.

Wittmann, whatever you do, don't ever die on us. Because we can never replace you.

[@johnlawson2984]

Debbie got it right as far as assigning tables and running a show……I’m on my 14th year in running Allentown and it’s still a challenge to keep everyone happy! 🤪

[@PaTrueConservative]

I love the Allentown show! Started going last year and have been to a few since then. Picked up some great stuff. I've been collecting since I was a kid, but I'm new to shows and learned about Allentown through this channel. It's opened up a whole new experience and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Thanks to you as well Mr Lawson for running a great show. Cheers!

[@greekveteran2715]

So much beauty there!!!! Cutlery at it's BEST, works of ART!!!

[@leonardjanda6181]

Classic stories, great 👍 channel to all who make it happen 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AdamosDad]

Great time seeing Debbie and learning your history. They may have stopped making aluminum cross guards because aluminum was strategic in aircraft and other military equipment.

[@ghosted2187]

Here we are again collectors. You guys are the best. The stories are great! This is definitely the highlight of my week lol.

[@dirlevoscar8588]

[@deanancy78]

Great stories! Don’t stop! Love these videos and the excitement of opening the boxes. Great seeing Debbie and her comments

[@rjb6327]

Nice to see the person that is really running the show, Debbie. 😁 Great story. As a non-collector, I was wondering what the protapee is used for besides decoration. i.e what is the history of the portapee? The last box was amazing.

[@simoncooper913]

One of the best.

[@MyPhilw]

Wow great items , greeting from England

[@xkmendlt4290]

Nice shirt Tom.😎Very nautical. First show story too funny.😂😂😂 Glocks are infamous for accidental discharges in inexperienced hands. Enjoy life to the fullest. If a little smoking and a few drinks is enjoyable and drinking doesn’t affect business or personal life, DO IT! Your responsible for you own body.👍🏼🤓

[@steelrolex]

Very addictive to watch these videos

[@Wolshanze]

Keep em coming boys 🇬🇧

[@kennethrouse7942]

I remember the "gunshot" show! Shortly afterwards I came down, entered the hall and the first person I ran into was Tink. She waved me over to the JRB&M table in some excitement and in all innocence I asked, "What did I miss?" 🤣

[@lugar05]

Great video , i learn every time you do these , please show the whole flag we need to see the condition of them .

[@gustavknittel8417]

Please tell us about the barfight that Debbie mentioned!

[@larryburwell8550]

Hey Debbie your a great support staff if ever there was one

[@duke4453]

Great job guys and I see over 10,000 subscribers so it's time for KZbin to finally pay you and Rob some $$$. Congratulations guys well deserved.

[@mikeschultz8509]

I like seeing the flags. People who are offended should take a hike, if they don't like your stuff.

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hi Guys Having Lunch Enjoying a Unboxing Video .. Thanks

[@matei82]

I would like see also the cameraman sometimes 😄

[@ghosted2187]

Deb's face when Tom lights his cigar lmao

[@gebox2637]

Those hunting daggers bare amazin. The nicest ones I have seen in awhile. I am thinking of adding one to collection after seeing those beauty’s. Great videos and I hope to make max show. What airport is the best to fly into?

[@robertemmenegger6716]

Baltimore. York is only a one hour drive North.

[@JM-ke1xm]

Nice episode - hard to believe you can’t show a flag! Especially when the Ayatollah of Iran can lead a Death to the USA chant on KZbin

[@bencumbee5542]

Is all this stuff that is unboxed going in inventory to sell or for Tom’s personal collection? I’d love to know what some of the prices are while he’s talking about the knives and other stuff that is unboxed. I love all of things from WW2 especially German stuff and I’d love to see and hear about some of the rare and most expensive stuff in his personal collection.

Hello , I have original German attack plans from 1937 for the Blitzkrieg , would you be interested ?

[@joegerich641]

Was there ever a mak show in Dallas?

[@davidthompson62]

Why would anyone fear or be offended, on a militaristic site, of a Nazi flag? Yes it represented an evil regime, but it is a piece of history that needs to be seen an preserved to teach future generations. Don’t fear a piece of clothe! It has no magical evil powers….that’s in the mind of those who fear it. Thomas, please show them!!! They need to be seen!

[@dennislindenpellinge]

Set them up Joe!!!!. Get Rob to set you up with a few Jager bombs. Still the best!!

Has anyone ever come across an SA dagger with Rohm’s name not ground out?? Does such an object possibly exist?

Go back through the unboxing videos. Tom has had lots of them. They're out there.

[@jimrutherford2773]

How can anyone who likes German WW2 militaria be that sensitive to the swaz on an original flag? Don't watch the unboxing. It's that simple.
